Biography :

Zazaa, a well respected young Mongolian artist was born in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia in 1973. Upon finishing her tertiary education she entered the Mongolian University of Culture and Art and graduated in 1999. She then worked at graphic design where she specialised in painting on silk and photography. During this period she exhibited widely and her work was exhibited in Mongolia and overseas. In 2001, Zazaa turned to professional painting and her work has sold well to an ever expanding clientele of Mongolian and international collectors. Her thematic expressions of the beauty and ripeness of the Mongolian female body are bold representations of the umbilical connections to life and reality. She expresses her internal passions with a bold use of colour and a richness of presentation, which are both dynamic and exciting. Through the form of the female body she expresses a new depth to beauty through slightly erotic representations, which captivate a feeling of optimism, happiness and "joi de vie". Zazaa believes that life is of eternal movement. Time, speed and momentary pause in female beauty are harmonised within a myriad of forms of thematic content. Each of her depictions of the body is different and captures but a second of the exquisite beauty of the human form. Through the medium of the female body Zazaa immortalizes the very essence of Mongolian beauty expressing its emotions within swirling whirls of the weather's changeability. She draws from her own deep emotions and beautifully creates a canvas depicting hidden feelings, sensitive beauty and above all her respect for imagery in unusual expressions amidst explosions of vibrant colour. Zazaa alternates her working year between her studios in both Berlin and Ulaan Baatar.
