What is Thangka Art
Thangka is a traditional Tibetan art form painted on cotton or silk using natural mineral pigments. It is more than a painting — it is an expression of faith and a dialogue between the soul and the universe.
Rebgong Intangible Heritage
Originating from the Rebgong region of Qinghai, China, Rebgong Art encompasses Thangka painting, sculpture, and embroidery. In 2009, it was inscribed on UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, recognized as one of the finest expressions of Eastern art and devotion.
Each Thangka is a symbolic map of the universe and the human mind. Every Buddha, Bodhisattva, and guardian figure embodies a different aspect of wisdom, compassion, and harmony. Through these symbols, one can glimpse the spiritual essence behind the art.
