Saskia Pintelon
Born: 1945
Hometown: Belgium
Based in: Colombo
Belgium-born Saskia Pintelon moved to Sri Lanka in 1982. Her paintings are very personal and yet encompass a wide range of universal concerns in strong, layered images. Inspired by local and universal issues, stories from the gut and the heart, politics and day-to-day concerns, her body of works interprets the collective human experience, environment and the cycle of life with intimate and personal preoccupations. Pintelon has shown her work in galleries in Asia and Europe.
