Artist Biography
Lal Rai is a self-taught visual artist originally from Bhutan. He began painting in the early
1990s, inspired by the landscapes and wildlife of the Himalayan region where he grew up.
From an early age, he enjoyed drawing portraits, nature, and scenes from daily life.
During his student years, Lal participated in several art competitions and received recognition for his work.
He later attended a six-month art workshop in Nepal organised by an art institution, where he further developed his artistic skills and understanding of painting. After living in Nepal for more than twenty years, Lal resettled in Australia in 2012 through
the humanitarian program. After some time away from regular practice, he reconnected with painting and continued developing his work through specialised workshops in oil and watercolour.
Today, Lal continues to create contemporary landscapes and portraits, working with acrylic, watercolour, and oil while exploring themes of memory, place, and nature.
