Art for Tibet's online auction brings together Tibetan and international artists in support of the Tibetan freedom movement.

From longtime supporters to exciting new voices, here's a look at some of this year's participating artists.

  • Aaron Li-Hill

    Aaron Li-Hill is a Canadian visual artist based between London and New York. Drawing on his background in graffiti and mural painting, he combines painting, illustration, stenciling and sculpture to explore themes of industrialization, technology and humanity's relationship with nature.

    His work has been exhibited internationally, including at the National Gallery of Victoria, Art Gallery of Ontario, Long Beach Museum of Art and Urban Nation Museum in Berlin.

  • Naomi Basu

    Naomi Basu is a New York–based artist working in painting and embroidery. Trained under Tibetan master painter Pema Rinzin, she draws on traditional Tibetan thangka techniques, blending intricate geometries and mineral pigments with contemporary approaches to light and texture. Her work explores spirituality and the power of art to inspire a sense of awe.

    Her work has been exhibited at Morgan Lehman Gallery, GOCA by Garde, and SPRING/BREAK Art Show, where she held her first solo exhibition in 2026. She has also been featured in Tricycle and Hyperallergic.

  • Pema Rinzin

    Founder of the New York Tibetan Art Studio, Rinzin is a Tibetan artist whose work has been featured in exhibits worldwide, including the Shoko-ji Cultural Research Institute in Nagano, Japan, and the Rubin Museum of Art. Born in Tibet and raised in India, Rinzin studied alongside master artists, eventually teaching Renaissance, Abstract Expressionist art, and cartoon drawing. He has dedicated himself to teaching both the practice and appreciation of Tibetan art, prioritizing the preservation of Tibetan culture.

  • Pema Kongpo

    Pema is a multi-disciplinary Tibetan-American artist based in the NYC area. Her creative journey began with painting in 2016, and expanded to fine ceramics in 2018. She recently began sculpture and metal work in 2023.  

    Pema graduated Cum Laude from Rutgers University in 2013 with a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering and double major in Sociology. She worked in Education and Software prior to becoming an artist. 

  • Ingrid Yuzly Mathurin

    Ingrid Yuzly Mathurin is a self-taught Haitian-American painter and muralist based in New York City. Known for her vibrant portraits and large-scale murals, her work celebrates Black and Caribbean identity, culture and community through bold colours and expressive imagery.

    Her work has been exhibited at the Brooklyn Museum and Montclair Art Museum, with public art projects and collaborations including ESPN, NFL Films and Colin Kaepernick's Know Your Rights Camp. She is a 2024 Soho House Creative Fellow and recipient of the 2022 New Futures Award from Saatchi Art.
