Wang Jiankang has pioneered a novel, multi-style, multi-subject painting technique that has earned his works the title of "National Cultural Treasure." His sugar paintings break through traditional boundaries, elevating the fusion of sugar and art to unprecedented heights—combining the crystal-clear translucence of sugar with the lifelike vibrancy of painting. By integrating three traditional single techniques—dragging, scraping, and pulling—he has created an exquisitely detailed new series of sugar paintings, winning six gold medals and one silver medal at national fine arts competitions. He has been honored by nationwide WeChat users and cultural authorities with prestigious titles including "Meritorious Artist," "China's Heritage Art Master," "Artist of Virtue and Talent," "National Gift Artist," "China's Most Investment and Collection Valuable Contemporary Artist," "Chinese New Era Role Model," "Practitioner of Chinese Cultural Revival," and "Grand Master of Chinese Art."

His work has been published in full-page portraits in the award-winning anthology "Jingu Qichuan," and serialized across three issues in Su Du Magazine. Huangshi TV produced and broadcast a documentary on him titled "Sugar Painting: The Sweet Legacy of an Ancient Craft."
