He did not develop HIV, but some of his works were painted while enduring the pain of being driven to the brink of death by the side effects of antiviral drugs. His works, influenced by the Tibetan Buddhist view of the universe, textiles, and fashion art that he had explored since his student days, express an unknown and overflowing talent.
