About Krishna Tashi Palmo
Krishna, a shining example of determination and resilience, has carved a unique path as one of the few women Thangka artists. Her journey in Thangka art is a testament to discipline and unwavering perseverance, echoing with the spirit of breaking down boundaries.
Despite facing physical challenges, having been affected by polio in both legs, Krishna's indomitable spirit shines through with an ever-present smile. Her artistry transcends her physical limitations. Her dedication to her craft led her to the Tibetan traditional art school in Himachal Pradesh's Lahaul Spiti district, where she honed her skills from 2006 to 2012.
From a young age, Krishna dreamt of being an artist, and this dream propelled her forward, even when the odds seemed stacked against her. In a class of 350 students, where the prevailing belief was that women could not practice Thangka art, Krishna stood out as one of the four aspiring female artists.
Yet, her love for art knows no bounds. Beyond pursuing her own artistic journey, Krishna generously shares her knowledge and passion by teaching children at a local NGO in her town. Her aspirations extend far beyond her personal success; she yearns to create an identity for herself and to transcend the boundaries of gender in the art world.
