Saskia has lived in Sri Lanka since 1982, and the island continues to be a source of inspiration for her work. Her paintings are very personal and yet encompass a wide range of universal concerns through layered imagery. She has exhibited in galleries and biennales in Asia and Europe. Saskia is joined by her partner Pierre Pringiers, a Belgian industrialist and yachtsman. Saskia and Pierre spent many years living in properties designed by Geoffrey Bawa; including the Ena de Silva House in Colombo, and Cinnamon Hill Suite in Lunuganga. Saskia exhibited her work at Lunuganga in the early ‘90s, and again in 2017, where she held an exhibition titled “Return to Lunuganga.” Many of her works are in the Geoffrey Bawa Collection and can be seen at Lunuganga and Number 11, Geoffrey’s two homes on the island. The Oral Histories Project is an ongoing endeavour that will continue after the centenary year celebrations, and the Trust encourages submissions of potential historians and anecdotes to [email protected].
