Why Our Thangkas

Crafted to Last Centuries

Pure Mineral Pigments

Colours That Never Fade

We use ground semi-precious stones, gold, natural binders and fabric canvas. These are the same materials used in Thangkas that survive in museums today, centuries old and still vivid.

Master Artisans

Decades of Training

Every piece is created by artists who trained for a minimum of ten years under traditional masters. The proportions, iconography, and symbolic details are all rendered accurately.

Consecrated & Blessed

Spiritually Empowered

Each Thangka is formally consecrated by a qualified lama before leaving the studio. This completes the painting, activating it as a living object of devotion and a support for meditation.

Our Story

A Living Tradition

Thangka painting is one of the oldest forms of sacred art in the world. Originating in the monasteries of Tibet, Nepal, and Bhutan, each scroll painting serves as a visual dharma teaching and a meditation support — a gateway between the everyday world and the sacred.

We work directly with artists from communities where this tradition has been unbroken for generations, ensuring both the integrity of the art and fair, dignified livelihoods for the makers.

Our collection brings these masterworks to collectors who understand that they are acquiring not merely an object, but a living piece of a civilisation.

Questions

Frequently Asked

Are your Thangkas genuine hand-painted originals?+

Yes — every piece in our collection is a hand-painted original, produced by a single artist using traditional materials and methods. We do not sell prints, reproductions, or machine-assisted works. Each painting comes with documentation of its origin, the artist, and the iconographic subject.

What materials are used in a traditional Thangka?+

Traditional Thangkas are painted on hand-woven cotton canvas, first prepared with a gesso ground made from chalk and hide glue. Pigments are ground from mineral and semi-precious stone sources — lapis lazuli for blues, malachite for greens, cinnabar for reds — and bound with hide glue. Gold is applied as genuine 24-karat gold powder or leaf. These materials ensure the painting's longevity across centuries.

How do I care for and display a Thangka?+

Thangkas should be kept away from direct sunlight, high humidity, and extreme temperature fluctuations. When displayed, they are traditionally mounted in a silk brocade surround and hung without glass. For storage, a Thangka can be rolled gently around an acid-free tube, fabric side out. We are happy to advise on framing, mounting, or conservation for any piece you acquire.

What is the process for purchasing a piece?+

Because of the significance and value of each work, we do not process payments directly through this website. Instead, we invite you to contact us to enquire about any painting. We will provide additional photographs, provenance details, and discuss pricing. Once agreed, we arrange secure international shipping with full insurance and handle all relevant documentation.

Can I commission a Thangka to a specific subject or size?+

Yes, commissions are available. The process begins with a consultation to establish the subject, iconographic requirements, size, and budget. Our artists then produce a preliminary sketch for your approval before proceeding to painting. Commission timelines typically range from three to twelve months depending on the complexity of the work.
