Student of the “Uran Egshig” Secondary School of Orkhon Aimag B. Erdenekhuu: 

-I usually paint nature, Mongolian rural life, and horses. My paintings give an indescribable feeling of joy. When I was in elementary school, I discovered my passion for painting. Encouraged by my art teacher's words, "You have a talent for drawing," I began to nurture my skills. By the fifth grade, I became a student of D. Tsegmid, igniting my interest in drawing even further. With the support of my teacher, I developed my talent and am holding this large-scale exhibition today. My father told me that he liked to draw when he was young. My parents are very supportive of my interests.

Now, I am filled with pride and honor as I exhibit my works in such a prestigious exhibition hall where great artists present their works.

Student of the “Uran Egshig” Secondary School of Orkhon Aimag B. Bolorchimeg:

-I've been very fond of drawing since childhood. However, I struggled to decide whether to pursue painting as a career. Thankfully, during high school, I decided to study arts, thanks in large part to the support of my teachers and parents. There's a profound beauty in being able to freely express my feelings and inner world with a brush. Currently, I explore both realistic and modernist styles in my paintings. Nevertheless, I'm interested in experimenting with all painting styles. Exhibiting my work at the National Art Gallery of Mongolia is an incredible feeling and an unforgettable experience. I wouldn't have been able to present my painting without my teacher and parents.
