The New Faces of Tibet
The Siddhartha Art Gallery at Babarmahal Revisited is open to art lovers wishing to catch a glimpse of the works of Andrea Lopez Iglesias titled 'The New Faces of Tibet'. This exclusive exhibition transcending beyond colors attempts to portray the past and coming future of Tibetan families using the faces of the present. The exhibit will remain open till the 24 May. "This new venture started about a year back although the idea had been in my mind for the last two years. I had been visiting Nepal on a project as a painting volunteer when I came across the lifestyle of Tibetans and learned a lot about Buddhism. That's where my true inspiration lies." said the Spanish artist who claims to have undergone great revelations and changes following her stay at the gumbas in Pokhara. In her latest work, she has painted 14 Tibetan refugees across different regions of Nepal with diverse backgrounds. In 'The New Faces of Tibet’, she has not only succeeded to present the people on canvas but also produced their stories in writing which are also present at the back of every painting. Likewise, the exhibition also consists of 13 sketches of children studying in Nepal as Tibetan refugees under Snow Lion Foundation Nepal. Tenzin Rabgyal, Education Officer of the organization that takes care of education of Tibetan refugees was also honored as the special guest of the event.
