Happiness is a Place: Trek to Sakten


Art Description

Bhutan’s beauty is as much in its nature, forests and mountains as in the stupas and prayer flags that seem part of that natural world. Prayer flags are hoisted with mantras written on them, to be carried adrift by the wind, to scatter blessings and good merit far and wide, and spread good will, compassion and happiness in the world.

Sonam Tshering

Born 1955, from Thimphu

I am a retired banker who first started painting as a favourite pastime since my school days. I am a self-taught painter and my paintings mostly depict landscapes and the bounties of nature as a way to express my lifelong love and concern for nature. Nature, its light and colours, mountains, winding rivers, lush green valleys, fields and forests have always been a great source of inspiration for me. Over the years, such a meaningful engagement has proven to be a natural healing process, thus attributing to greater inner peace of mind and happiness in my life.
