THE CRAFT
The Art of Regong
Painted by hand, shaped by centuries of tradition.
Regong, in the Tibetan cultural region of Qinghai, is home to one of the most enduring traditions of Tibetan Buddhist art.
For generations, artists of the region have devoted themselves to the intricate practice of Thangka painting — a discipline shaped by sacred iconography, precise linework, layered colour, and extraordinary attention to detail.
At Inner Realm, this tradition takes on an intimate scale. Each miniature is painted entirely by hand, where even the smallest gestures, expressions and ornaments are formed one stroke at a time.
The scale may be small, but the language of the art remains vast.
