Sanjeev Sivarulrasa
Born in Sri Lanka, Sanjeev Sivarulrasa is an emerging Canadian photographic artist and writer based in Ottawa. A lawyer by training, he recently resigned from a career as a specialist in international tax law to take up his art full-time. Sanjeev’s work brings together the worlds of astronomy, photography, and art. He began observing the night sky with telescopes ten years ago. As his infatuation with the night sky grew, he turned to cameras to capture the beauty of the heavens. His favourite imaging locations are under dark skies in Ontario and Quebec.
Artist’s Statement
When our Sun sets, a thousand suns rise to light the night. The night sky is our window to the Universe. This reality is lost in cities, where artificial light dominates the night. I seek out pristine dark skies to see the sky as our ancestors once did. I delight in the still of night, where fear of the dark gives way to awe. Using telescopes and camera lenses coupled to modern digital cameras, I attempt to capture the quiet serenity and sublime grandeur of the night sky.
