Sabita Dangol was passionate about painting ever since she was an adolescent but never thought of pursuing it as a career. “When I was young, I didn’t know that there are art colleges in Nepal. Later, I got to know about it from a friend and I made the decision to continue my studies in arts. Luckily, my family was amazingly supportive from the very beginning,” she says. She went on to earn her MFA degree in painting from the Central Department of Fine Arts, Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu in 2013 and made art her career for the last 16-17 years.

Dangol started doing her ‘Couple Series’ in 2016 along with her husband Ishan Pariyar who is also an artist. “My paintings are a celebration of the conjugal bliss of me and my husband and a personal meditative reflection on life in itself.”
