For more than a thousand years, Tibetanart ists have played a key role in the cultural life of Tibet . From designs for painted furniture to elaborate murals in religious buildings, their efforts have permeated virtually every facet of life on the Tibetan plateau and defined a visual style which is distinctly Tibetan people Tibetan . The vast majority of surviving artworks created before the mid 20th century are dedicated to the depiction of religious subjects and are imbued with tradition both in terms of technique, for the most part being distemper on cloth or murals, and subject matter drawn from the rich panoply of religious texts. They were commissioned by religious establishments or by pious individuals for use within the practice of Tibetan Buddhism and, despite the existence of flourishing workshops, the artists were largely anonymous. These works not only document key philosophical and spiritual concepts but also demonstrate the vitality of Tibetan aesthetics over the centuries in terms of the development of particular schools and the cross fertilisation of stylistic influences from other Chinese, Nepalese, and Indian styles. Today, however, Tibetanart presents a very different picture, where there is a truly vibrant, modern and exciting artistic scene waiting to be discovered.

Ethnic Tibetan personal names typically consist of two juxtaposed elements. Family names are rare except among those of aristocratic ancestry though diaspora Tibetans living in societies where a surname is expected may adopt one . Tibetan nomads drokpa also use clan names in farming communities these are now rare and may be replaced by the names of households. Traditionally personal names are bestowed upon a child by a lama , who will often incorporate an element of their own name. In the Tibetan diaspora diaspora , Tibetans often apply for the Dalai Lama to provide names for their children. Personal names are in most cases composed of readily understood Tibetan words. Most names may be given to either male or female children, with only a minority being specifically masculine or feminine. References cite book author Tournadre, Nicolas & Sangda Dorje others trans.
