I’ve always been drawn more to portraits than any other type of painting. The human face is very complex and changes constantly with moods but as an artist, I like to challenge myself. When we meet someone, we look at their face to read their emotions and understand their personality. I think portrait and figure drawing had become a dying art with the development of photography. That’s why I’ve never liked doing simple portraits in a traditional way. I tend to start with very sketchy and patchy strokes to get the essential features of the subject and then I use large color brush strokes to add movement and energy so that the whole piece becomes more engaging with the viewer

Kos Cos is an abstract artist from Sri Lanka residing in Hong Kong. He is known for his unconventional approach to art, which involves using bold brushstrokes, vivid colours, and movement. By employing innovative techniques of form, geometry, and pattern, Kos Cos explores the nature of human thoughts and the cyclical aspect of life. His art is influenced by the aesthetics of billboard paintings that were prevalent in Sri Lanka during the 1990s, as well as advertising. Kos Cos also received training in cartoon drawing under the tutelage of Sri Lankan cartoonist Mr S. C. Opatha. Kos Cos has exhibited his artwork in both the United Kingdom and Hong Kong. He was a finalist for the 2018 Royal Art Prize and was also chosen as one of the artists for Saatchi Art's inaugural NFT drop, 'The Other Avatars,' in 2022. His art has been acquired by prestigious institutions such as Standard Chartered Bank, HSBC Hong Kong, and the Hong Kong Museum of Medical Sciences, in addition to private collectors from the United States, United Kingdom, France, Belgium, China, Hong Kong, Japan, and Australia.
