LYNEAR Wealth and Saskia Fernando Gallery partner to support Lanka’s art ecosystem

LYNEAR Wealth Management and Saskia Fernando Gallery have entered into a strategic partnership aimed at supporting the continued growth and international recognition of Sri Lanka’s contemporary art ecosystem.

The partnership brings together LYNEAR Wealth’s expertise in wealth management and long-term capital stewardship with Saskia Fernando Gallery’s leading role in championing Sri Lankan contemporary art and connecting local artists with global audiences.

As Sri Lankan and South Asian contemporary art continue to gain international recognition, the collaboration seeks to foster greater engagement between collectors, investors, artists, and cultural institutions, while contributing to the long-term development of the country’s creative economy.

Nabiha Mohamed, Strategy and Growth at LYNEAR Wealth, said the partnership goes beyond art and is focused on cultural exchange and creative industry development.

“We are pleased to partner with Saskia Fernando Gallery to support Sri Lanka’s evolving art ecosystem and its growing presence on the international stage,” she said.

“This partnership is about more than art; it is about fostering cultural exchange, creating meaningful connections, and contributing to the long-term growth of the creative economy.

As interest in South Asian art continues to grow globally, we see a unique opportunity to bring together collectors, investors, artists, and cultural institutions in a way that supports the creative industry and elevates Sri Lankan contemporary art on the global stage.

Through this collaboration, we aim to connect our clients with Sri Lankan and South Asian modern and contemporary art, guided by the curatorial expertise and market knowledge of Saskia Fernando Gallery, while supporting the continued growth and international recognition of the industry.”

Saskia Fernando, Founder of Saskia Fernando Gallery, said the partnership represents a significant shift for Sri Lanka’s creative economy.

“This partnership with LYNEAR Wealth represents a paradigm shift for the creative economy in Sri Lanka. For a creative ecosystem to thrive and compete globally, it requires the backing of structured, sophisticated capital.

This collaboration ensures that our artists receive the institutional support they need, while investors are guided by curators and market experts who understand the historical weight and market trajectory of each acquisition,” she said.
