“He doesn’t just use a pencil; he breathes life into paper.” Jennifer Paldano Goonewardane, Explore Sri Lanka, January 2026.
Dennis Candy Artworks contains pictures created by him using classical Western artistic media influenced by the visual artistic tradition of the Sri Lankan polymath creator Lionel Wendt (1900-1944) and other South Asian artists.
He says that there are no theories, texts or philosophy behind his art. However it is said that every picture tells a story and a picture is worth a thousand words so he lets his art speak for itself or you may create your own words if you wish.
