Kinley Namgyel


Born 1990, from Zhemgang


In 2008, I joined the National Institute for Zorig Chusum after completing Grade 10 in 2007. My training there concluded in 2013. From 2014 till date, I have been working as an independent artist. Among various styles, traditional Thangka painting resonates with me the most, providing comfort as I continually learn and find joy in depicting gods and goddesses. I aspire to gather like-minded friends in the future, collaborating on more traditional Thangka artworks and exploring this realm globally. Currently based in Paro Dzongkhag, I am excited for what lies ahead.
