Master Jicang Cairang: The Soul of Regong Thangka Art
"Preserving the Sacred Lineage, One Brushstroke at a Time."
The Guardian of Himalayan Heritage
Born in November 1997 in the cradle of Tibetan art—Tongren, Qinghai (historically known as Regong)—Master Jicang Cairang has dedicated his life to the pursuit of spiritual enlightenment through sacred art. His journey began in 2010, when he was accepted as a formal disciple of the legendary Master Li Bai, a First-class Folk Art Master in Qinghai.
Under six years of rigorous monastic-style training (2010–2016), Jicang mastered the intricate Buddhist iconometry and the secret alchemical techniques of natural mineral pigment application. His work is more than art; it is a fusion of deep Buddhist theory and extraordinary manual precision.

Sacred Materials, Timeless Mastery
Every Thangka created by Master Jicang Cairang adheres to the Menri and Karma Gadri lineages. We use exclusively natural mineral pigments—crushed turquoise, lapis lazuli, cinnabar, and 24K genuine gold—to ensure that the spiritual energy and vibrant colors of the scroll endure for centuries.
Master Jicang's style is renowned for its delicate line work, rich color transitions, and profound emotional depth. His ability to capture the "divine gaze" of deities has earned high acclaim from both monastic scholars and international art collectors.
