TURBURAM SANDAGDORJ aka STuro Bio

I was born into a family of artists in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.

My father was a book editor and fine artist who illustrated books,

designed graphic arts and posters. I am the youngest of his six

artistic children and was the only child in the family to become a

professional artist and I credit my father as a primary source of

inspiration. An early childhood injury sustained while playing

soccer as a teenager permanently changed my life. During the

months of recuperation, I became deeply absorbed in reading art

theory books. During this period, I discovered my passion for art

and decided to dedicate my life to the creation and study art.

I majored in art college and Master of Fine Art State Pedagogical

University and later worked as a designer and artist/illustrator in

the theater, press and news media.

I consider myself a historical artist: I began my journey as a

historical a Silhouette Fine artist. Ultimately, I discovered the truth

in art and the existence of our collective mind and soul. How the

scissors and paper, intricate and fragile, are a metaphor for life

itself ! Influenced by both Eastern and Western artistic traditions,

as well as Eastern religious philosophies, his artistic vision is,

above all, steeped in my abiding love of my native land: the rigged

open steppes, the horses that are an artistic part of Mongolia

culture, and its rich, colorful history. Mongolia is a country of oral

history. A nomadic people, Mongolians used storytelling to pass

down traditions and lore from generation to generation, leaving

few written records. The tradition of cutting designs out of felt,

paper, or other materials is ancient. For example, when a child was

born, the family would cut out of felt the image of fox and display

it near the child’s bed. This symbolic image, like the dream catcher

of the Native American artistic tradition, was meant to protect the

child from nightmares. I currently live in Reno, Nevada.

Since I was child, I surprisingly adored penciling everyday and

inspired and influenced two artists as my teacher, friend, and

competitors. One is a French graphic artist, illustrator Gustav

Dore and other Japanese artist, printmaker Katsushika Hokusai.

In early years, I experimented with different papers with different

scissors cutting shapes and objects and became much more excited

me to create my view, expression and feeling after proofreading.

Also, at the same time, creating Paper cut silhouettes with paper

and scissors so special and unique knowledge of my art career.

I created a series of historical books and illustrated many book

illustrations of the World’s work of literature and poetry.

Life and Art are an equal Universal force of the University (power)

that I learned as a tool that every day is passionate, hard-working

manner and expressing new ideas.

My creation of “The Tsagasun Baru” Silhouette Fine Art is unique,

a new style and form of American Fine Art.

The Paper is fragile simple material, and the Scissors are an

aggressive tool. “The Tsagasun Baru” Silhouette Fine Art is

three-dimensional, you could create phototype or conceptual Art.

But you can create whatever you have great ideas for and create your unique world.
