Jayamini works within the time-hallowed decorative tradition of Sri Lankan art but has devoted herself to the exploration of new possibilities and motifs. A long period of study in China after her initial training here has contributed considerably to her range of both motifs and technical resources. Her work presents a wide range, from the graceful lines of feminine movement in dance-like postures through statements of sensuous femininity and suggestive sketches from aspects of nature to occasions of reflective utterance.
