Comment: This draft has improved but there are still some issues: the English is not very accurate and sometimes confusing. It needs proofreading and copy-editing. Also the first two sections on her art style need citations. MurielMary (talk) 11:15, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

Biography
Born into a family of Newar community[10] and local merchant, Dangol[11] grew up with the religious and wide cultural surroundings. Her work reflects the culture of the Mithila and Paubha of Himalaya regions[12]. Her childhood was full of memories & experience of cultural significances and its impressions. Her interest in art started since her childhood doing with art and craft items including making of greeting cards, glass painting, designing and decorating house with floral crafts and artworks. She did her BFA in 2011 from Lalitkala Campus[13]. During her studies she realized herself as she can be a complete artist when she was taking part in a competition which was organized by Fine Art College student association and begged 2nd position on it. This success marked an important turning point on her life that fueled her art passion and she started to dream as accomplished artist someday.
She has done her first solo show 'Insight of Foliate' in 2011 at Nepal Art Council. Which was a successful part of her art startup and she started to work continually. She pursued her MFA in 2011 and passed out in 2013 with master's degree of Fine Arts from Central Department of Fine Arts, Tribhuvan University. She did her next solo show '...of life that doesn't freeze' in 2012 at Patan Museum & Solemn Odyssey[14] in 2016 at Taragoan Museum[15] simultaneously she started her career in fine arts and started to teach her ideas in local institutions as part time art instructor. She did her next show 'Interconnected Affection'[16] in 2018 at GG Machhan[17][18]. Followed by her show she had a chance to feature in India Art Fair[19] at New Delhi in 2018 representing artist from Nepal, Nepal Art Council[20] has been representing & showing Nepali Contemporary artist work since some years[21]. Her artwork was also selected on '18th Asian Art Biennale' at Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy[6] on the same year.
Motifs & Symbolism
Decorative Patterns
Dangol has been depicting the comb as an important metaphor in her artworks since 2014, She introduces comb which reflects the powerful symbols which she defines as a meaningful tool to untangle the tangled hair. Same as it's a relevant term in her art to depict it as a positivity and solving tool to everyday life problems.[22] In her paintings the comb represents the solutions.[23] Her artworks represent the different symbolisms. Sabita makes use of decorative patterns like Mithila patterns that has their roots leading to the southern side of Nepal. She infuses it with daily utility objects such as combs, looking glass, and life forms such as humans, birds, fishes, trees, etc. addition to this; her recurring theme is love between a male and a female. These figures inhabit the focal portion of her canvas. Because of her tenderly dreamy subject matter, her works might remind the onlookers of some of the paintings by icons such as Marc Chagall and Gustav Klimt who have depicted couples as the central figures. As for the artworks of the artist of this show who belongs to a Newar community, the process through which they are being made, the area from where she draws inspiration, and the personality of the artist herself; all come from different origins. And yet they blend perfectly in the singular sight of the viewers (while looking at the canvas) making the entire experience the conjunctions of various components that create a life form.
Comb
Since 2014 she has been introducing comb in her artworks. Her first comb including series of artworks were exhibited in 2016 at The Taragoan Museum[24]. She uses it as metaphorically and the symbol of comb retells the latent meaning in a way represents not as a representing object but more meaningfully, she has interpreted it as a power untangling of life's mess, which is connecting through soul[25]. In each of the paintings Sabita paints the comb as a metaphor to remind us that we need to be mindful of the negative energies that permeate through the hurly burly of our lives. And that it is important and possible to sift out such energies to attain a state of personal bliss or enlightenment.
Couple
Married to the artist Ishan Pariyar for just over 6 years.[26], Sabita's paintings are a celebration of their conjugal bliss and a personal meditative reflection on life itself[27]. As in the past, Dangol situates her couple in an idyllic Gardenscapes or nature scape that is replete with water bodies, flora and fauna , aquatic, mammalian, avian and insect life. The beautiful white calla lily is seen blooming in her works, these flowers express the idea of life and fertility. This quest for ecological harmony and the balance of nature is central to the artist's work. Even the trunks and branches of the tree of life team with living creatures, symbolizing that all of life and mankind is nourished by nature. The artist also situates the couple in an idyllic cultural vista of Newa architecture and draws from indigenous motifs from the hills and plains of Nepal. Even in these works, we see that culture and nature can co-exist in harmony if planned with thought. In the midst of these arresting myriad details and her amazing technicolored palette,[28] Sabita paints the eternal couple rapturously gazing at each other[29]- their love permeates through the busy detailed eternal garden of dreams and cityscape that the artist has painstakingly created. This story of love or enrapturement transcends the past, present and future and is a timeless one[18]
Asta Mangala & Shree Yantra
The central motif of the painting Symbiotic Life has been taken from the eight auspicious symbol of Buddhist ideology. Especially in the Newari culture in Kathmandu valley, generally known as Asta Mangala as a symbol of the auspicious and prosperity, this symbol is more valuable, been pasted on both side of the main door of the groom's house. It is in general belief that this symbol is very good luck for the newly married couple and for their prosperous life ahead. Whenever the eight auspicious signs exist, there will be the dependent arising of increasing the virtue of auspiciousness. The central figure of the couple is a complimentary symbol of male and female, where the motif of Shree Yantra has been used to signify the value of the unification and conjugal life[22]. More on in this artwork the background has been painted using the pattern of Banyan & Pipal leaf, are sacred tree has related with the Hindu mythology of the god Bishnu and Laxmi, a couple god to be worshipped together. The flower Calla lily[30] has been used to signify the beauty of couple and the decorative bird is the metaphorical representation of freedom and free will.
