Work by Gerelkhuu Ganbold

Gerelkhuu Ganbold has been painting in the traditional Mongolian style called “Mongolian Zurag” since he was a young boy. He thoroughly enjoys painting Mongolian folk tales and images of different nomadic tribes, especially developing a passion for painting detailed and expressive images related to migration. Gerelkhuu Ganbold is part of the Hovsgol Park Cooperative, which is located in a small village and works hard to train local people to make traditional crafts and clothing in order to create employment opportunities, stimulate the local economy and preserve cultural traditions.

The Santa Fe International Folk Art Market, a non-profit organization, produces the largest international folk art market in the world, and our success led to Santa Fe’s designation as a UNESCO City of Folk Art.
