Welcome to Tibetan Art
Welcome to tibetanart.com - the website of the British artist, author and scholar Robert Beer, who has studied and practiced Tibetan Art for the past forty years. In recent years he has worked closely with the finest Newar artists and Tibetan thangka painters of the Kathmandu Valley to assemble a unique and extensive collection of the finest contemporary Tibetan and Newar paintings of Buddhist and Hindu deities.
The main purpose of this site is to display the incredible skills of these individual artists by making many of their original paintings available as fine-art Giclee Prints, all of which are meticulously accurate in their iconography and detail. Each painting has a detailed description written by Robert Beer, who is working in association with Wisdom Books to produce these archival prints. Also exhibited on this website are some of the the exquisite visionary paintings and mandalas of John Miles. So essentially it is the artists themselves who are represented here, for they are truly some of the most visionary, innovative and divinely inspired painters of our time.

Standing Sarasvati
This painting of Standing Sarasvati by Kiran Joshi is based upon an early composition by Udaya Charan Shrestha, which has since been copied many times by other Newar artists, none of which have been as beautiful as this innovative rendition.
Artist : Kiran Joshi
Price From : £65.00
B/W Seated Green Tara
This sepia painting by Devendra shows Green Tara seated in her traditional posture of royal-ease upon the white moon disc of her lotus seat, with her left leg drawn up and her extended right foot resting upon the moon disc of a small lotus pedestal. Both of these lotuses arise from the rippling waters of a lotus-lake, which has a solitary acacia tree growing upon its right bank, many bushes on its far bank, and distant hills in the background.

Synaesthesia - Celtic Renaissance
This delicate and extremely intricate mandala was painted over a three-year period, and is certainly one of John's finest works. He signed and dated this painting in 1980, and gave it the provisional title of 'Celtic Renaissance', which essentially relates to the revival of interest in the ancient Welsh legends of the Mabinogion that he was so absorbed with during this time. The title of 'Synaesthesia', meaning the 'crossing of the senses', was a prefix that John applied to all his major visionary works, and in its large format size this Mandala is truly magnificent.

Green Tara with Amoghasiddhi
This oil painting by Devendra shows Green Tara standing gracefully in triple-bend (tribhanga) posture upon the flat disc or seed-head of a pink lotus that arises from the waters of a lotus-lake. The flat plane of this seed-head, along with the misty central island-hills in the background, defines the horizontal plane of this composition, such that one looks up at Tara's face and Amoghasiddhi on his lotus as if these figures are monumental in proportion when seen from below.
