Review from International artists
In late May 2026, I had the privilege of participating in the Nepal International Art Exchange Exhibition. I would like to express my gratitude to Ms. Sarita Dongol for her invitation!
This event featured participants from Japan.🇯🇵, China🇨🇳, Hong Kong, China🇭🇰 , Singapore🇸🇬 Countries and Nepal.🇳🇵 A total of 12 artists gathered together. They showcased their works, which were diverse and rich, reflecting the cultural characteristics of their respective ethnic groups. This was a rare opportunity for mutual learning and exchange…
This is my second visit to Nepal, and I hope to gain insight into the country’s ancient culture and arts, as well as its unique customs and traditions.
Nepal🇳🇵 This is the place where Buddha Siddhartha Gautama was born, and Buddhist culture has a long and rich history. It has been widely disseminated in India, China, Korea, Japan, and other parts of Asia… For many years, I engaged in the study, research, and creation of Buddhist art.
Through fieldwork and photography, I have acquired valuable material showcasing everyday life in Nepal. As a painter, I hope to incorporate these aspects of Nepalese culture, particularly Buddhist themes, into my future works.
Thank you, Ms. Sarita Dongol, for all the hard work you have done in organizing the exhibition and hosting the event. We sincerely appreciate your efforts!
