Stanley Kirinde, (1930 – 2009), a self-taught artist, is considered one of Sri Lanka's most outstanding artistic talents of the 20th century. Working primarily on canvas and paper, his works are part of numerous local and international public and private collections.

He first exhibited with the Sri Lankan Modernist Group of '43 and thereafter, displayed selectively throughout the world. His works have been included in exhibitions at the Smithsonian Institution (USA), at the Festival of Asian Art in Fukuoka, Japan and in the landmark exhibition of South Asian Contemporary art, “Colours of Karma”, at the Nehru Centre, London in 2005.
