Arts and Crafts..
Bhutan is rich in distinct tradition and culture that makes the country quite enticing for the visitors and the art lovers.
We are also gifted with unique arts and crafts which are the most significant aspects of our tradition and cultural heritage. Much of Bhutan’s spiritual and intellectual life is emanated through its arts. The wonder of our arts and crafts attributes to Zorig Chusum, the thirteen traditional arts and crafts. Amongst these the lhazo (Painting) is one of the rare paintings, which is exclusive and entirely unique to other world. Unlike western paintings our thangka paintings do not talk about the abstract ideas but rather the values and beliefs that dictate our lives. Through our thangka paintings we could learn not just about the arts but transcend the religious wisdom. Thangka paintings interpret religious history, beliefs, values and our tradition and culture.
At High Quality Thangka painting we are specialized in thangka paintings and we are the most competent art gallery who has the capacity to produce crème of de crème of Thangka Paintings. Unlike other art galleries we do not import the thangka paintings from neighboring countries like Nepal,
India and Tibet which are susceptible to deception. We have our own professional painters who have done their six years diploma in painting from the Institute of Zorig Chusum or Thirteen Arts and Crafts. They were employed based on their merit, past history and their quality of works. They were selected amongst the best of the best and their works are highly revered in the country. You can see them do live paintings at our art room attached to our gallery. The quality of paintings are further ensured by the strict scrutiny of the Proprietor Mr. Pema Tshering who himself has undergone the six years diploma in Painting from the same institute mentioned. He is one of the few connoisseurs of Thangka Paintings in the kingdom who has also gained popularity in other countries. Ever since the inception of the High Quality Thangka Gallery, we have done business with many guests from other countries who were extremely contented with the quality of our paintings.
