"In 'Emerge', beauty is not only seen but remembered. Real blossoms fade into woven petals, tracing the journey from the natural world to cultural identity. Against the depth of maroon, she stands in silent transformation — neither hidden nor revealed, but in the act of becoming."

Born in 1999, Peyma Dee (Pema Dendup) is a self-taught artist in Thimphu. Despite initially aiming for an academic career, his success in art competitions hinted at a different path. A transformative experience with a traditional painter sparked his passion for Bhutanese art. Since 2019, he's made art his anchor, diving into canvas painting and earning through commissions. Despite completing a Computer Science degree in 2022, Peyma chose a full-time artistic career, focusing on commissions over original work initially. His art blends realism with Bhutanese influences, and he aspires to inspire budding artists and contribute to a vibrant creative society in Bhutan.
