Art Passports: Nepal Collection

The first thing that comes to mind when thinking of Nepal the soaring Himalayan mountains and the tallest mountain in the world, Mount Everest. This country which borders China, Tibet, and India is filled with incredible scenery and spiritual sites. Spirituality seems to echo through Nepal in all the photos and details. Even the way the Nepalese people say hello, “Namaste” means “I bow to the divine in you”. The prayer flags and the colorful textiles had a large influence on my color palette selection. 

Nepal is so ethnically diverse with over 120 different languages spoken in its borders. The people of Nepal have a depth to them that you don’t see everywhere. I am relying solely on photographs, research, and stories since I have not visited the country yet but you can truly see something powerful in the eyes of the people. For this reason, I am very excited to work on many portraits for this month’s Art Passport journey! More to follow…
