pencil
My artistic journey commenced as soon as I could grasp a pencil in my hands. The enchantment of paper captivated me from my early childhood, and my passion for drawing has endured throughout the years. Despite occasional hiatuses, spanning years, as I immersed myself in other life projects like conservation and photography, the allure of paper and pencil always drew me back.
In the following showcase, I am pleased to present some of my pencil and Nepalese paper creations from various periods. Some were crafted during my leisure moments in Mustang, while others took form during my time in Europe. Nevertheless, each piece encapsulates a shared truth: my profound love for Nepal.
ink
My initial foray into ink paintings primarily served as studies for the reconstruction of missing wall paintings in Tubchen Gonpa. I devoted my time to this artistic pursuit before or after project hours and even during days off, maintaining the dexterity of my hands. The figures portrayed were meticulously copied from the monastery, allowing me to compose them on paper, arranging each element to suit my personal taste.
In aligning with my artistic preferences, I aimed to revisit the essence of traditional thangka creation, harking back to a time when images weren't merely realistic reproductions but representations of a purer space inhabited by pure beings. Despite the passing years, my return to painting remains akin to the ebb and flow of the tide.
