Kiran Shrestha | Artist

Kiran Shrestha was born and raised in Dolakha, Gairimudi. From a young age, he had a passion for art and despite not having access to formal instruction in his rural village, he would copy pictures from books and take part in school art competitions. After entering Kathmandu for further studies, Kiran had the opportunity to visit Fine Art College, which inspired him to join the BFA at Lalitkala Campus to further advance his art career. Kiran believes that without the ability to actualize an idea or concept, art would not exist, and his work is a constant search for the best way to interpret the ideas that he has about himself and the world around him. He does not limit himself to one medium, style, or concept, and each of his pieces is both an extension of the past and a preview of the future.
