Two Artists, One Vision: An Interview with Twinz

Twinz Artists: The article helped us see wrath not as anger but as compassion in a fierce form. It explains how wrathful deities aren’t violent for the sake of violence—they use intensity to protect and transform negativity. That idea really stayed with us and directly shaped how we approached this painting.

In Buddhism wrath isn’t personal anger but a powerful compassionate force, embodied by wrathful deities like Vajrabhairava and Mahakala who destroy ignorance, attachments, and obstacles to enlightenment.

We represent Buddhism through icons and symbols inspired by the tangible and intangible culture of Bhutan.

We work directly on canvas—no layouts or sketches. We take inspiration from different faces, visualize the layout, and draw.

In our first solo exhibition, most of the works portrayed human faces with plain backgrounds. Over the years, we incorporated colorful freestyle patterns and designs, as well as animal depictions with spiritual iconography.

We work out and enjoy nature. We also watch and listen to podcasts, read, pray, and spend time with dogs.

Yes, we do. We enjoy different genres, from pop, hip-hop, and R&B to classical (Mozart, Beethoven). But our favorite genre is heavy metal, especially extreme metal like black metal, death metal, death core, etc.

Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt, Gustav Klimt, Gustav Moreau, Hokusai, Lucian Freud, William Bouguereau, and James Jean.

We hope that our art evokes spiritual warriorship, which is discovering the basic goodness. It’s about living a life of fearlessness, gentleness, and intelligence.
