Dolpo, like many indigenous cultures, is increasingly affected by modernism. Without careful preservation, our unique way of life risks fading away due to climate change and outward migration. Through my paintings, I try to reflect and preserve this fragile cultural identity. Native textiles—rich in symbolism, color, and tradition—appear across almost all of my work, serving as a visual language that connects the past with the present. My art is both a tribute and a response: a way to honor where we come from while acknowledging the changes shaping our future.

Dol.extintion(dolwa)

Two figures sit closely together, their bodies merging through abstract brushstrokes. The forms are partially defined, with color and movement suggesting connection and closeness rather than detail.

Entangled Forms

In today's restless world, people move endlessly, driven by desire , time, and circumstance. Greed, anger, and attachment replace compassion, harmony, and cooperation, leaving humanity enslaved by its own cravings . Bhairav Bhav reflects this condition through ancient symbolism and contemporary vision. Two guardians appear with their multiple arms invoking Bhairav's fierce energy and Shiva's cosmic reach- power multiplied for balance, not destruction. Where weapons are expected, open hands and fragile branches emerge. Red floral heads transform violence into renewal , shakti into life. Machines of war are subdued as flowers rise. The work urges a return inward, seeking truth, self-existence, and peace.

Peace

Once in a quiet hill village, a kind old man lived with his cruel wife. One day, while gathering firewood in the forest, he found a small egg and built a nest behind their house. The egg hatched into a sparrow that could speak like a child. The man secretly cared for it. When the wife discovered the bird, she grew angry. Though the man claimed a mother bird left it, she remained bitter. As the sparrow grew and playfully teased her, her temper flared until one day, in rage, she cut out its tongue. The sparrow flew away, heartbroken. Years later, the old man met the now-grown, magical sparrow in the forest. The bird forgave him and took him to a beautiful land, where his bird family gifted the man a bag of gold and jewels in gratitude for his early kindness. The wife, upon seeing the riches, went to the sparrow pretending to seek forgiveness. The sparrow, knowing her greed, gave her a similar bag. But when she opened it at home, it was full of snakes and insects. Shocked and terrified, she died in regret. Moral: Greed and cruelty bring sorrow. Kindness, even in secret, brings unexpected rewards.
