About the Art

Numerous artists maintain that art is a manifestation of the divine. Modern artists, in particular, possess distinctive beliefs and eccentricities that provide them with a sense of spiritual sanctity. They discover a sanctuary in their studio, where they can freely express their emotions and themselves in a genuine manner on the canvas. In some way, even contemporary abstract impressionists in Nepal are unable to evade a metaphysical perspective. Kiran Manandhar’s art is a dynamic fusion of contemporary abstract expressionism and traditional Nepali themes. It is evident in his practice and creations that he was connected to the divine and religion.
At his studio, there is consistently a delightful aroma emanating from the smoldering incense. He consistently commences his day by lighting incense and expressing his traditional devotion to various deities and goddesses.
