TENZING RIGDOL studied art and art history at the University of Colorado, where he is currently pursuing a master's degree in philosophy. His paintings are the products of collective influences and interpretations of age-old traditions; they are influenced by philosophy; often capture the ongoing issues of human conflicts; and have strong political undertones - for him, politics is an unavoidable element in his art.
