I am a tree from a bird’s eye view.
If mother tree sees me as a bird
I – I, I am a bird.
– Bulgan. J
Soyolmaa Tsegmid’s art richly blends the visual symbolism and artistic techniques that she has honed through seven years of study at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Beijing, with a focus in Chinese Traditional Painting.
Mirage of My Dreams, Soyolmaa’s first solo exhibition in Mongolia, reveals the artist’s fascination with the textures, colors, materials, and formations of the natural world: birds, plants, geological formations, and the Gobi region that she and her family call home. Each artwork takes your senses on a journey, from the birds-eye perspective of the landscape to the microscopic detail of a petal. This sense of movement and travel is intended to evoke the artist’s own efforts to recollect aspects of her past and discover what might remain in the present and future. The mirage here is Soyolmaa’s careful play between the identifiable detail and the imaginative scenes that she depicts. Temptingly beautiful and linked to the artist’s personal memories, these images makes us wonder: do these places exist more in the world or in our imagination?
