Tsultrim Norbu is a native Tibetan originated from Chamdo, Tibet Autonomous Region, China and has always been fascinated by Thangka art. The master officially began his journey in 2000 through painting in Tibetan Buddhism temples. He then became an apprentice of Mensa School of Thangka Master Couchon Tsering in 2005, and in 2010, he mastered the craftsmanship of cloisonné filigree. After more than a decade of endeavour, Norbu developed his uniquely dynamic Cloisonne Thangka art technique which fascinates and moves the imagination of audiences and collectors worldwide.

Unlike other thangka artists, Tsultrim Norbu creates his unique thangka style combining the Han Chinese cloisonne technique and traditional Tibetan thangka art. It involves four major steps in the process: first, sketch on the aluminium plate; second, glue the golden coated aluminium wires according to the sketch; third, apply coloured enamel paste; and finally, paint with traditional thangka colours using an ink brush. The finished works of gold wires, glimmer enamel and natural pigment ink give each piece a strikingly vivid and resplendent appearance and aura.
