Upcoming Exhibitions

by Romio Shrethsa

Exhibition Dates: 4th - 21st Nov 2026

Body of Light presents the visionary work of master artist Romio Shrestha, whose paintings bridge the sacred tradition of Tibetan thangka with a contemporary visual language of light, consciousness, and healing. Drawing on the timeless concept of the "body of light"—a luminous state of awakened awareness found across mystical traditions—Shrestha creates works that invite contemplation and inner reflection.

Across mountains and seas two cultures created visual masterpieces as pathways to the divine, maps of the cosmos, and instruments of transformation.

The illuminated manuscripts of medieval Ireland, such as the Book of Kells, and the sacred paintings of Tibet (thankgka) are born from devotion, discipline and a profound understanding of the nature of reality.

This exhibition brings these two luminous traditions into conversation – revealing shared symbolic languages, spiritual aspirations, and artistic genius. 

Handcrafted using crushed mineral pigments including lapis lazuli, malachite, azurite, coral, and gold, each painting radiates remarkable depth and luminosity. These materials are integral to the work, transforming every composition into a meditation on interconnectedness, compassion, and the nature of consciousness. 

Visitors are invited to journey through a contemplative space where Celtic spirals and Tibetan mandalas, sacred texts and mantras, saints and bodhisvattvas, calligraphy and colour speak to the same timeless quest: to illuminate the mind and awaken the heart.
