Uma Shankar Shah's graphic works depict the images of nature and Hindu mythologies appealing for the preservation of natural and cultural heritage of Nepal. He incorporates the forms and contents of early Nepali religious and folk arts. In Shah's early prints-etching, woodcuts, lithographs, etc,-we find the abstraction of nature in simplified form, dominated by the recurrent images of the gliding fishes in particular and life under water in general. Nevertheless, themes drawn from the realms of philosophy mythology and religion and folk culture also feature in them.
