Da Qiongpei

Da Qiongpei is a Tibetan Buddhist monk living in the city of Lithang in what used to be Eastern Tibet and now is a part of Sichuan. When I was travelling in China I saw an album with his works. The pictures are very interesting, modern but based on traditional Tibetan iconography. I am told some of these pictures are illustrations of the famous poems of the Sixth Dalai Lama. Da Qiongpei translated those poems into Chinese and himself illustrated the book. The black and white pictures are from this book.
