Penjor Dorji

Born 1985, from Lhuentse

I graduated from Trashiyangtse Zorig Chusum Institute in 2014. I currently manage the Green Pigment Arts company with the aim of producing the first natural pigment colours in the country. In 2016, I held my first exhibition at the Nehru Wangchuck Cultural Centre and in the following year an exhibition on Art and Raw Materials at the Royal Textile Academy. That same year, I won 2nd prize in the Start-up Innovation Tech Week. In 2019, I participated in the South Asia Art Expo in Kunming, China. In 2020, I was among the top 5 contestants in the Bhutan-India Start-up Summit. I also secured 3rd position in the traditional painting competition organised by the Royal Textile Academy of Bhutan.
