The art and rituals that Jyoti absorbed from his native Nepal inspire the rich palette of colors and Tantric geometries in much of his work. While attending the Besant Theosophical School in Varanasi, India in the 1960s, Jyoti was exposed to a fusion of eastern and western mystic traditions that seek to convey the divine essence of nature. Later exposure to the art of Wassily Kandinsky, an early modernist who also embraced theosophy, reinforced Jyoti’s personal style of abstraction, as did the art of Paul Klee and abstract expressionists Jackson Pollack and Adolph Gottlieb.

Jyoti’s fluid and versatile approach to working in different media enables him to transform interior and exterior spaces into environments for contemplation and discovery. His site-specific, multi-sensory installations measure as small as a tree snag or as large as a city park. Here viewers can experience serenity, reflect on political and ecological issues, and connect to the transformative power of art. Jyoti has been credited with pioneering installation art in Nepal, where he presented ” The Myth of The a Nagas and the Kathmandu Valley Watershed: An Ecological Artwork” in 1993.
