Features: Renowned military artist Zhang Jianming has been actively creative in the past, but in the past five or six years, he has vanished from the Chinese art scene. It turns out that Zhang Jianming served as a military attaché in Nepal for several years. During his tenure in Nepal, he not only successfully completed his military diplomatic duties but also took a large number of photographs. He also held an "Zhang Jianming Art Exhibition" in Kathmandu, showcasing both Chinese paintings he brought from China and photographic works created in Nepal. This generated significant buzz among Nepal's upper class and diplomatic missions in the country. Local media hailed it as "a rare combination of a military attaché and a photographer and painter."
Zhang Jianming is a member of the China Artists Association and possesses a comprehensive cultural and artistic background. He is not only skilled in painting and photography but also in writing books and conducting academic research, demonstrating his versatility. Since returning to China over a year ago, he has published several illustrated works introducing Nepal's culture and scenery in newspapers and magazines. Additionally, two books, "Beyond the Himalayas: Exploring Nepal" and "The Royal Palace of Nepal," each accompanied by over 700 photographs, have been published successively. He has also created a series of new Chinese paintings titled "Nepal Scenery."
