About the Artist

Thanuja Pannilage: A Visionary Artist

Hi, I’m Thanuja, the creative mind behind Arts for Spaces. With over 9 years of experience as a graphic and UI designer, I’ve now dedicated my life to my true passion: painting and sketching. Inspired by nature, emotions, and the joy of creating, I aim to craft artworks that connect with people on a personal level.

As a husband and father, I also understand the value of memories and storytelling. That’s why my work focuses on bringing your stories to life through custom art, making every piece a timeless treasure.

Art is a universal language that transcends boundaries. It has the power to move, inspire, and transform.

Commissioned Thanuja to do a sketch of my wife and I for our first anniversary and he absolutely delivered! He was communicative from start to finish and his work is beautiful. There was great attention to detail. He made room for my request to have additional background. We couldn't have found a better artist to commemorate our anniversary. Thank you so much!
