Artist Bio.
Nuwan Shilpa Hennayake (b. 1990, New York; based in Kandy, Sri Lanka) is a self-taught psychedelic visionary artist. From early experiments in drawing to deep explorations of meditation and psychedelia, his practice is driven by a singular pursuit: revealing the hidden intricacies of mind and matter through immersive art.
Primarily a digital artist, Nuwan employs the vision and techniques of visionary art schools and old masters—adapted to contemporary digital tools—to bring transcendent visions to life. His work channels sacred geometry, biomechanical forms, and transcendental imagery, creating intricate, immersive landscapes that bridge mind and matter. Since 2021, he has expanded into NFTs, embracing the technology as a vessel that provides true digital provenance for digital artists. He also collaborates with artificial intelligence, not as a replacement, but as an extension of his mind—amplifying and exploring visionary experiences that push the limits of perception.
Through his art, Nuwan invites viewers to step into realms beyond ordinary consciousness, where structure, energy, and imagination converge. Each piece is a threshold, a portal to experience the sublime directly—an invitation to witness, feel, and traverse the invisible dimensions that shape reality itself.
Artist Statement
"The world manifests intricacies in all levels, macro, and micro, within realms of both matter and mind. Perhaps the most exquisite expressions of these intricacies are perceived in psychedelic and visionary states of consciousness. There is a transcendental profundity in witnessing the unfolding of intricacies within these states. As such, I have become a devout disciple in seeking the sublime through psychedelic and visionary states of consciousness. My Art is an expression arising from this seeking."
"I create 🅳igital 🅼ind 🆃rips inspired by 🅻atent 🆂piritual 🅳imensions"
