Client Testimonials
“I have known Dhammika Gunasekera for many years. Over this period I have visited his workshop and purchased many silver items of high quality to be gifted to friends abroad, which they have greatly admired and appreciated. I enjoy dealing with Dhammika, as I find him to be a gentleman in the true sense of the word, whose integrity and honesty are of the highest quality. I wish him continued success.”

“I have known Dhammika since grade school. His remarkable transformation from a Civil Engineer to Accountant to Business Owner to Art Lover to Art Producer is a journey that is now captured & encapsulated in his fabulous artistic creations. I am also the proud owner of several pieces of his art work, prominently displayed in two generations of household in the San Francisco Bay Area. I continue to marvel at the evolving artistic genes of Dhammika and eagerly await the next transformative chapter from this creative genius.”
Dr. Siri Weerasooriya
“Dhammika is an artist blessed with a unique flair. A recent convert to drawing, he has developed a style and technique that is amazingly colourful, vibrant and alive. I enjoy studying his beautiful creations at length, a form of meditation as I sink into the abstract forms, the eclectic colour schemes, and the life that flows through each drawing.
This a new an important talent that has just begun to be noticed. I am intent on collecting as many of my friend’s creations as I can – they bring joy to this uncertain world.
Dienge is the repository of some of the finest traditional silverware available in Sri Lanka. Dhammika has sought out and secured the services of artisanal silversmiths who have been engaged in their craft for generations. Two of his craftsmen trace their lineage back to the Kandyan Kings of the 18th century.
These artefacts are examples of timeless skills, ancient designs and by supporting them you too can keep a traditional art-form alive.
Don’t think for a moment that you can only find old designs. The designers at Dienge will work with their artisans to curate objects that are unique to you. Own a small piece of history and help keep a traditional craftsman doing what he loves and what his family has been engaged for hundreds of years."

“My family and I have been clients of Dienge since 2005, and much admire their jewellery, traditional silverware and artistic pieces.
Dhammika's art is truly unique in style. We are delighted to have purchased a few of his beautiful works and other precious items from Dienge for our home.
We most appreciate the quality and workmanship of these pieces, the authenticity of their design, and the care and attention to detail that is provided throughout their process.
We wish Dienge and Dhammika continued success.”

“I first found out about Dhammika’s art when I was at a meeting at his office. I was intrigued by all the geometry I could see in the drawings a few feet behind his chair and of course had a lot of questions on how he got the shapes and sizes to be uniform and how he came up with the idea for an art.
The three types of art he has, pencil, marker and coloured are all unique. The multidimensional nature of the coloured art is so different from the flowing designs of the single colour marker drawings and face centered pencil drawings with closed shapes. However, each of these is a masterpiece with printer like precision and unending variety. At the least, Dhammika’s art is thought-provoking and to an imaginative person, is the start of a beautiful journey through the realms of hidden dimensions.”
