In collaboration with London-based Grosvenor Gallery, Saffronart is holding an exhibition of paintings by Sri Lankan artist​Senaka Senanayake at The Claridges, New Delhi, from​12–24 January 2018 ​titled Mystical Moments: Recent Works by Senaka Senanayake. The exhibition features a collection of the artist`s​ ​highly​ ​sought-after​ ​rain forest​ ​paintings. Born in 1951, Senanayake is one of Sri Lanka’s leading artists. He studied Art and Architecture at Yale, which impacted his decision to make a career out of art. Senanayake achieved early fame with an exhibition of works in Colombo in the late 1950s, and his first international solo exhibition in New York at the age of 10. Through his vivid depictions of Sri Lanka’s rainforests, Senanayake draws the viewer’s attention to their rapid depletion. Each canvas takes two to three weeks to complete,
