Nomin BoldNomin Bold was born in 1982 in Ulaanbaatar. In 2005, she graduated in Mongolian traditional painting (zurag) from the School of Fine Arts of the Mongolian University of Arts and Culture. She has now become well known around the world for her extremely thin brush painting and for her way to represent modern themes with Mongolian traditional painting techniques. While Buddhist imagery still haunts a part of her inspiration, she boldly ventures into raising awareness of the cultural identity crisis that meets Mongolian society without ignoring each of its evils. She also pinpoints the condition of Mongolian women in a harsh world in which very subtly they actually pull the strings. |
