Rajesh Shakya

Rajesh Shakya's creations have found their place among those of the greatest master artisans of Nepal. At the age of thirteen, he found his niche while studying under the late national treasure, Buddha Ratna Bajracharya. Inspired by a host of artistic gurus, Rajesh's talent is evident in every facet of his exquisite statuary. Each piece, which can take over a year to complete, features designs utilizing one or more extraordinary techniques to bring divine forms to life, including fine filigree, inlaid stone carving, repousse, and engraving. Rajesh owns and operates a collaborative workshop where he and Yagendra Shakya combine their talents to generate some of the most highly-regarded works in their field.
