Yeshi Pelden
Born 1991, from Bumthang
One winter vacation, assisting my uncle inspired me to pursue art. I joined the National Institute of Zorig Chusum, the school of thirteen traditional arts and crafts school. For all six years there, I was awarded the first division in all of the exams. My final achievement was The Best Outgoing Student medal in 2014.
In February 2017, I had my first solo exhibition in Thimphu, titled “The Hell Wheel of Life” on the six realms of the universe.
I currently work at Art United Gallery which I founded for the preservation and promotion of Bhutan’s traditional arts and culture. It is my aspiration to help the young and unemployed of Bhutan to find creative job opportunities for a positive impact on their life.
