“When it comes to art I always like to explore and don’t stick with one medium,” says James Khati, an artist living in Lalitpur, who does a mix of media, photography, and sculpture.

He continues, “I don’t have any big sad stories when it comes to my art journey. All I remember is I have sketched during most of my free time since I was a kid. People around me were very supportive of that and that led me to join art school and completing my Bachelors in Art from Kathmandu University.”

He further explains his work as memories, nostalgic feelings, a catharsis approach by impasto technique of painting.
