Care & Authenticity

How do I know this is hand-painted?

Each original is documented as a single hand-painted work and is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.

Why are the paintings priced in this range?

Pricing reflects months of work by one artist, traditional drawing methods, mineral pigments, gold detailing, and the fact that each painting is offered only once.

Should I frame it or mount it in brocade?

Either is appropriate. Archival framing works well for contemporary interiors, while traditional brocade mounting preserves the classic thangka presentation.

How should I care for it?

Keep the painting dry, avoid prolonged direct sunlight, and use archival materials when framing.

Can I commission a specific deity or size?

Yes. Commission enquiries can specify subject, dimensions, and colour preferences. Custom work typically takes several months.

Is the artist paid fairly?

Artists set their own prices and are paid before a painting leaves Nepal.
