Gonkar Gyatso. Buddha of the21st Century. 2007.

“My work revolves around the ideas and insights of Tibetan culture, and how I as someone who has lived most of his life outside of my country, relate to them for identity and sustenance…. So no matter what direction my art takes, I want it always to retain the flavor of Tibetan culture.” 

Gonkar Gyatso
