About the Artist
In 2018 I graduated in the field of traditional art (Lhadri) from the National Institute for Zorig Chusum where I was trained for 6 years. Now I work as a traditional artist in a private company where we blend both traditional and contemporary art. I often collaborate with VAST Bhutan and volunteer there whenever I can. While volunteering in VAST Bhutan projects I get to learn from my VAST friends and mix the techniques of contemporary art together with the traditional art. I hope to create many more artworks by combining the two methods of creating that I have been blessed to learn.
Whenever I paint, I first focus on my body posture and eventually my thoughts get focused too. I always want to create meaningful thought-provoking artwork, for which we need all the ideas, interest and effort combined. The outside world and the issues surrounding our lives, both sad and happy ones, inspire me to create.
My interest and passion in paints and colors inspires me everyday to do my best in creating a piece of art.
