Lahiru is a Sri Lankan art collector and visual artist whose interests bridge contemporary Sri Lankan creativity and global modern masters. His collection reflects a deep engagement with both South Asian artist—such as Laki Senanayake, Muhanned Cader, and Jagath Weerasinghe—and internationally acclaimed figures including Frank Stella and Souza.

Beyond collecting, Lahiru is also an emerging abstract artist himself, known for colorful works inspired by landscapes and the human form, developed under the mentorship of the late Jayasiri Semage. His dual role as both collector and creator gives him a unique perspective on the dialogue between artist and audience. Works from his own practice, as well as his discerning acquisitions, are held in notable private collections in Sri Lanka.
