This newfound form of expression brought immense joy and exploration into his life, allowing him to delve into an art form that he had never known before. Alongside his passion for painting, Mr. Dhan Kumar Lama possesses a remarkable talent for singing songs.
Throughout his journey, he has been supported by his loving family. Embracing painting has added an entirely new dimension of fulfillment and happiness to his life, bringing him a sense of purpose and contentment that he wholeheartedly enjoys.<br />He joined MFPA as a provisional artist on June 2023.
