Mahagama Sekera

Mahagama Sekera was born on 7 April 1929 in Radawana, in the Gampaha district. Trained at the Government School of Fine Arts, of which he later became director, he was a painter as much as a poet. He wrote more than a hundred songs, many of them composed and sung by W. D. Amaradeva, published novels, plays and essays, and made a film that won a prize in 1970. He was preparing a thesis on the rhythm of Sinhala prose and poetry when he died, on 14 January 1976, aged forty-six.
