Jan Caramelli
Jan Caramelli spent years studying the strict mathematical grids of the Karma Gardri school of Tibetan painting. Unlike artists who focus on the religious narrative, Caramelli often reveals the underlying iconometry. He uses the precise measurements and geometric frameworks that traditional masters usually hide beneath layers of paint.
