"I've been making an attempt over the past year to express myself in a new way by combining photography and painting. Every once in a while, I feel I need to change every facet of my style of expression, from technique to medium, because for me, "duplicating" myself is a very painful experience, which makes it difficult for me to continue using any one method for very long. This versatile, unfixed way of creating is perhaps a result or a reflection of my character, but whatever it is, it validly expresses my personal condition - a type of imbalance, a lack of equilibrium. Yet those who really understand me will discover that in the midst of this fluid, ever-changing creative mode, I am throughout continuing or extending, as it were, my personal experience and recollections, clumsily piecing together the fragments of my spiritual, inner life." - catalogue essay "Nortse self portraits - the state of imbalance" Rossi&Rossi 2008 1963:Born in lhasa: 1984-1991 He studied respectively in Art department of Tibet university, National central art academy, Art academy of Guangzhou and Tainjing.
