Between 1994 and 2008 he engaged in many political activitism for the freedom struggle of his  country, Tibet, while studying independently in classical and contemporary art forms. In 2016, he  received a fellowship from Rubin Foundation for a two month Artist’s Residency in Vermont  Studio Center, USA 

Over thirty years of his journey as a painter has been to find his own voice and search for ultimate  truths. His interest is in the foundation of our mental attitude and states of mind that shape our  personalities and sense of physical reality: how we as a species shape our future generations and  the future of this planet. As an artist, he tries to express feelings, the state of consciousness and  the subject matter of the day-to-day human story, the story of human struggles, hopes and  dreams. Karma uses color form and Tibetan motifs to create surreal abstract images. He has  developed a uniquely personal visual language.
