Tara Arts is involved in producing pure quality Tibetan Thankas (scroll paintings) with genuine traditional style and touch. It also forms a learning place of thanka painting skills for newcomers.
Thankas represent the true essence of art which depicts the pictorial form of gods, goddesses, mandalas, and other structures of great religious significance.

Great deal of concentration and hard work is put into each and every thanka by keeping in mind the minute details of outlines and color shades.

Thanka's are predominantly objects with meditational meanings. The portrayed subjects are very divergent, from historical characters, through pure imaginary creatures to strict geometrical forms, the mandala's. These are the ultimate means of meditation because they represent the cosmos. Thanka's represent the feelings and ideas that are hidden deep inside each of us. We can conclude this from the fact that the artist only starts to paint when he is mentally prepared. The work itself may take several months, depending on the size and subject.
