T.Nurmaajav: I wanted to paint a mother’s love when I give birth
She creates her artworks in one room of Artists’ A atelier, where a family of Mongolian fine art is sitting. The inside of the room is very clear and orderly because a woman is sitting in the room. The walls of the room are decorated with masterpieces such as “Up to the Cloud” and “Ulemjiin Chanar”. If you remember the “Border, Border Guards and Homeland” exhibition, T.Nurmaajav displayed nine artworks in the exhibition. She started talking about how proud she was of the border guards, protecting their homeland and the beauty of Mongolian nature. She said , “I think of what I can do for my homeland when I see the border guards, protecting our homeland’s border for a peaceful and safe life for Mongolians. And I also remembered that a painter’s duty is to advertise our homeland to the world through fine art, and to create many artworks showing customs and tradition. As well, I realized that when my boys became adults I’ll let them go to the army.”
T.Nurmaajav creates her works of art by incorporating traditional painting traditions with modern painting. A number of her paintings narrate ideals of mothers and the beauty of Mongolian queens. The idea to create artwork expressing the love of a mother began when she give birth. She has three sons and a daughter. Her youngest children are twins. She is a very busy woman, struggling as she raises her children, takes care of housework and creates her artwork. Behind all these challenges, her tower of strength is her husband, D.Erdenebayar. Her husband is monk. That is why religious portraits are a component of her work. She likes to paint Nogoon Dari Ekh.
The artist spent her childhood in Ulaangom soum, Uvs province, and we asked how she fell in love with fine art. She replied, “I don’t know exactly why I relished art. My fate and instinct led me this way.” She graduated from the University of Culture and Art in 2005. Since that time, she has been creating her artwork and released three solo exhibitions. People know her for her creations depicting the nuances of the four seasons.
She depicted the cold heart’s of people who destroy mother earth in her artwork ” Mood of the time” with winter. She painted “Melodious Country” in 2009, and showed it in the “Autumn” exhibition, the largest professional artists’ exhibition in the nation. That year she was selected as the best painter. You can see the life of herders in the countryside in “Melodious country”.
She got the idea for her “Heat of the Sun” painting from a Mongolian folktale. She portrays the sunny days of autumn through seven suns in “Heat of the Sun”.
Summer’s funny moments of city and countryside people are captured in the painting “June”.
She creates her artworks by listening to her inner voice. A mirror of her inner world and perspective is apparent in her artwork. She uses mostly blue, white and yellow in her creations. Black and other dark colors do not appear in her work.
T.Nurmaajav likes to collect bells in addition to painting. She fell in love with the ringing sound of bells. She has a large collection of bells from many countries. People present her with them as gifts, rather than purchasing them herself.
She is planning to reveal a new exhibition next year.
