29 Apr NB Gurung Art: Capturing The Beauty Of Nepal
Whether you’re into extreme sports, photography, exploring different cultures and religions, food, exotic animals or even if you just want to unwind in a tranquil environment, Nepal offers something for everyone. The one thing Nepal is predominantly renowned for worldwide is it’s incomparable beauty. Nepali Watercolour artist based in NB Gurung manages to capture the beauty and the vulnerability of Nepal like no other, painting scenes from all over Nepal to perfectly demonstrate just how entirely stunning this country is.

This painting displays a scene that is far away from the hustle and bustle of Kathmandu. NB likes to travel (or even trek) to more remote and local areas of Nepal to paint landscapes, showing a whole different side to the Himalayan region. This painting simply named ‘Landscape’ captures the artist’s world in watercolour on Indian handmade paper.
