Laxman Shreshtha 

Laxman Shreshtha was born in Nepal in 1939. He received his formal training in art at the prestigious Sir J.J. School of Art and then there was no looking back. He went from strength to strength exhibiting his works in as diverse places as Maisons des Beaux- Arts, Paris, Salle de la Press, French Foreign Ministry, Paris, First Triennale of World Art, New Delhi, Baltimore and San Francisco, U.S. and Gallery Friencrich, Cologne.His abstract works are marked by a sensuous and meditative interplay of colors. Sometimes we are transported to the mountain peaks of his native Kathmandu, the pristine white light of snow capped mountains shine through the opacity of dull colors creating a dazzling effect and leaving the viewer almost breathless.
