My guest today is Julyan Patrick Attygalle Dharmasena, a 25-year-old Sri Lankan artist whose work bridges wildlife, mythology and meticulous technique.

Julyan’s artistic journey began as a child sketching animals with just a pencil and over the years, his practice evolved into a unique fusion of acrylic, oil and his signature stippling technique — a method that builds depth and story through thousands of tiny ink dots. His intricate pieces are inspired by mythology and the natural world, inviting viewers to pause and rediscover beauty in detail and devotion.
