AMARSAIKHAN NAMSRAIJAV (MONGOLIA)

Recognized for his large-scale installations created using natural elements such as mud, earth, and dead branches of wood, artist Amarsaikhan Namsraijav grew up in a traditional nomadic family. Amarsaikhan’s conceptual practice addresses vanishing cultures and wisdom of nomads, who lived in harmony with nature, having minimal consumption and self-sustainable lifestyle. In 2009, Amarsaikhan initiated the Nomadic Art Project and started working mostly in nature and mastering the skills of transforming waste materials into huge installations that amplify nature and resemble nomadic lifestyle. In 2021, he joined Global Nature Art Project and became an Executive Director of Mongolian Nature Artists’ Association. In addition to his large-scale installations, Amarsaikhan has also maintained a rich painting practice throughout his career.
