The artworks were completed by three artists who have been engaged in Thangka studies for many years, having offered unique perspectives on the painting craft, including their own artistic themes and cultural interpretations of Thangka.

Sangye Tsering, an arts and crafts master from northwest China's Qinghai Province, is one of the youngest inheritors of the art of Thangka in China. The artistic duo, Huang Wei and Hou Xiaohui, have integrated elements of traditional Chinese painting with the Tibetan Thangka art in their effort to innovate the age-old art form.
