Cavaliere (OMRI) Tilake Abeysinghe (Sinhala: කැවාලියර් තිලක අබේසිංහ; Tamil: காவலியர் திலகே அபேசிங்க; 28 March 1929 – 24 September 2022), better known as Tilake, was an internationally reputed Sri Lankan painter and sculptor. Using traditional media such as oil on canvas and water colours, and sculpting in bronze, cement, clay and plaster-of-paris, Tilake fused oriental ethos with western sensuality in his art pieces.[1][2][3][4][5][6] Tilake created abstract, semi-abstract and feminine form inspired paintings and sculptures.[7]

Tilake Abeysinghe passed away at age 93 in his home in Toronto, Canada.[8]
