Tsering Nyandak was born in Lhasa in 1974. From 1985 to 1993 he lived and studied in Dharamsala (India). In 1993, after returning to Tibet, he started studying art under Tsewang Tashi. He has participated in various exhibitions in China, Germany and Nepal and is a founding member of the Gedun Choephel Artists' Guild. For Tsering Nyandak, being an artist is about self-expression and is not culturally stereotypical.

He has said "I believe that to be an artist one should find one's own mode of expression integrated deeply in one's self. So I feel my works though devoid of certain innovation, are genuine and expressive. The artistic environment in Tibet hasn't yet had the space and scope for innovation that other regions enjoy. But strong individualism has thrived without conscious innovation. Personally the saying 'perhaps my artwork is no better that yours but at least it's different' doesn't appeals to me much at present stage.

"Largely my themes share similarity with other artist in certain treatment. Though not so sociable a person, I am keen at observing social phenomena; subjectively. I can't say I am critical, political, or any other things. But I should say that I am sensitive and artful in depicting my themes. And that feels like tasting a strange food without commenting about it but bodily expressing something about the taste."
