Kesara | About

Kesara Ratnavibhushana (b. 1983) is a multidisciplinary artist, photographer, and creative consultant with a career spanning two decades.

His early work as photographer-in-residence at London's Shunt collective (2006-2008) significantly shaped his intensely personal reportage style, with a specialisation in architecture, fashion, and select international weddings.

Recent notable achievements include concluding a series of regional shoots for Rolex SA, exhibiting work as part of the British Council’s Net//Work 2.0 residency in the UK, and curating Sri Lanka’s first NFT exhibition, The Brilliant Resilient, for author-actress Lisa Ray.

His large-format giclée tapestry installation, conceptual video, and NFT work, Unfolding Tesseract, was presented at UnCommon Threads during Dubai’s Alserkal Art Week in March 2023, with subsequent showings in London and Capri. In 2025, Kesara collaborated with Parisian duo French Cowboy on the exhibition Body Is… at the Galle Literary Festival, and his mini retrospective Will to Power was showcased at the ARTRA-Mannakulam Collection collaboration in June. His series SwanBoat Lovers was featured in the Silenced exhibition in Colombo and Galle in January 2026.

He recently curated 70 Years - 70 Faces - Exhibition & Coffee Table Book for the Embassy of Switzerland in Colombo.

Kesara's diverse client portfolio includes Rolex SA, The Geoffrey Bawa Trust, HSBC UK, The British Council UK, Quintessentially, Harper’s Bazaar Bride, Jaguar Land Rover, CeciInStyle, Architectural Review, A+ magazine, The Dutch Embassy in Sri Lanka, The Commonwealth Secretariat, International Finance Corp / The World Bank, US Aid, Hilton Hotels, Aman Resorts, Chanui Tea, Little Freddie, and Mercedes Benz Fashion Week.
