Welcome to tibetanart.com - the website of the British artist and author Robert Beer, who first began to study and practice Tibetan Art in 1970. Showcased in galleries are masterpieces of Tibetan Buddhist and Hindu Tantric art painted by the finest contemporary thangka painters and Newar artists of the Kathmandu Valley.
The main purpose of this site is to reveal the incredible skills of these artists by making their original works available as fine-art Giclee Prints, which are all meticulously accurate in their iconography, colour fidelity and detail. Each painting has a precise description written by Robert Beer, who is working with a master printer to individually produce these archival prints. Also exhibited are the exquisite visionary paintings and mandalas of John F B Miles, along with other deity prints and postcards. Essentially the artists themselves are represented here as some of the most spiritual and divinely inspired painters of our time.
I have just now made available some 13 inch width Canvas Prints to the website, essentially for certain larger A3+ size prints that are longer in format than the standard 13 x 19 inch prints on A3+ sized paper. At present these include: 1. Kuan Yin: 2. Forty-two Armed Avalokiteshvara: 3. Amitabha Radiating Light: 4. Yeshe Tsogyal and Dzogchen Protector: 6. Thousand-armed Avalokiteshvara: 7. Troma Nagmo (Gold on Black): 8. Dorje Drolo (Dudjom Tersar): 9. Vajradhara with Manjushri and Vajrapani: 10. Wheel of Life: 11. Vajravarahi (Dorje Phagmo): 12. Red Tara: 13. Palden Lhamo: 14. Nyingma Protectors and Yidam Deities: 15. Citipati: 16. Bardo Mandala of Peaceful and Wrathful Deities. 17. Palden Lhamo and her Retinue.
This Sino-Japanese composition depicts Avalokiteshvara, the bodhisattva of compassion, in the androgynous form of Kuan Yin, who can appear in either male or female form in the Chinese and East Asian Buddhist traditions. The name Kuan Yin (or Guanyin) is an abbreviation of Kuan Shi Yin or Guanshiyin, meaning the "One who Perceives the Sounds (or cries) of the World". Avalokiteshvara as Kuan Yin is now the most popular deity of the Chinese Buddhist pantheon, where he was first represented as a male deity. However, during the Yuan Dynasty (1279-1368) Kuan Yin progressively began to appear in androgynous or female form as the "Goddess of Mercy", and this accords with the Lotus Sutra, which describes Avalokiteshvara as a bodhisattva who can manifest in any human or non-human form or gender.

Kannon is the name given to the various Japanese aspects of the bosatsu or great bodhisattva of compassion, who traditionally manifests in thirty-three main forms. These forms are often androgynous and relate to his male aspects as Avalokiteshvara , the 'Lord who Sees All' the sufferings of existence, or in her female aspects as Kuan Yin, 'She who Hears all' the cries of all beings.

Amitabha, the “Buddha of Boundless” Light, appears here in his Sino-Japanese form as Amida Buddha, who stands upon the seed-head of a multicolored lotus with many petals. Amitabha is golden in complexion and his divine form is endowed with the thirty-two major marks and eighty minor signs of an enlightened buddha. He wears an undergarment of embroidered green silk, and the outer robe of a Buddhist monk that is fashioned from sewn patches of richly embroidered silk.
