Bishnu lives near Bhaktapur, a magnificent newari town in the Kathmandu valley, which is classified by Unesco as a World Heritage Site.
Although not from a family of woodcarvers, he felt irresistibly attracted by wood carving since his childhood and started to learn from a teacher when he was eighteen.
His work is of extreme delicacy, with impressive sharpness and balance.
He is one the best woodcarvers in the Kathmandu valley and highly in demand. He is currently working on a massive relief of a monastery in China, which will take almost 2 years to complete.
For his exceptional work, he received the National Fine Art Award in 2022 and the Fine Arts Special Award in 2023.
