MY STORY

“I’m Surya Dudraj, born in Nepal in 1991. I earned my B.F.A from Tribhuvan University, Nepal in 2012.

My art journey began in 2006, leading me to participate in various national and international exhibitions and workshops. In 2022, I held a solo exhibition themed ‘TIME’. My paintings explore this concept, as time is a soul of the universe.

I’m comfortable with portraits, landscapes and still life. In portraits, I use brushstrokes and details to bring out the essence of my subjects, their stories and emotions with different medium. My artwork has been collected by many individuals and organizations from the U.S., UK, Kuwait, Philippines, Korea, Qatar, India, and Nepal.

When I paint landscapes, I use color, light, and composition to create breathtakingly real scenes of nature. From peaceful countrysides to cityscapes that buzz with life, my landscapes capture a sense of place that makes you feel like you’re right there.

Through my art, I want you to consider how fleeting time is and how it shapes everything around us. My paintings are a reminder that life is ephemeral, urging you to treasure each moment and appreciate the ever-changing world we live in.
