Each artist finds inspiration in different contexts. Tenzin Dakpa's favorite artist is Leonardo da Vinci and one of his favorite pieces is the Mona Lisa. Tenzin Dawa was inspired to paint walking through a busy market in Old Delhi. Lobsang Dorjee is entirely self-taught and works with varied themes, such as the Dalai Lama and global warming. Sonam Wangchuck is passionate about painting traditional Tibetan themes; he does so in order to share the richness of Tibetan Culture with his viewer.
The four artists present tonight have unique and varied talent. Their art reflects their individuality and diverse prospective. We understand this community to be a dynamic one, one where new thoughts and ideas come to the forefront daily. By providing the artists of this community with empty walls they are able to share these new and exciting ideas.
