TAMIR SAMANDBADRAA PUREV
Mongolian Calligrapher
Born in Oulan-Bator in 1976
Award for the best Mongolian calligrapher in 2006, Tamir started practicing Mongolian calligraphy at an early age thanks to the teaching of his grandmother.
When the Berlin Wall fell, he was a student at the Soviet High School in Ulan Bator.
The political transition in Mongolia took place very quickly and in 1991,
the old Mongolian script became the official script.
Later, with his provincial cousins ​​"shavis" from the school of Buddhism in the capital,
he discovered Tibetan writing.
After studying at an aviation school in Russia in 1996 and after three years at the School of Cinematography in Ulan Bator, Tamir discovered the art of Mongolian calligraphy and continued to
learn it with one of the great master.
He then studied painting while pursuing his research in modern calligraphy, bringing his personal signature
to the rhythm of his inspirations.
He also innovates by experimenting with colours and creates his own seals.
Currently, Tamir teaches calligraphy at the "Mongeni" school of the Academy of Fine Arts of Mongolia
where he works with Bayart-Od.
Among the many exhibitions in which he participated in France and Mongolia, Tamir will long remember the one where he hung his works at the same time as those of his master.
The gallery "Ulzii-Art and Handicrafts of Mongolia" in French Brittany, exhibits his artwork since 2004.
Tamir Samandbadraa Purev is one of the first Mongolian calligraphers to work in porcelain. “MONGOL” is a
white-blue porcelain vase made in Jingdezhen in 2018.
It includes inscriptions in three different scripts: Soyombo script at the top, traditional Mongolian Uyghur script in the middle, and Turkish Orkhon script at the bottom. MONGOL was is part of
the new silk road project in China.
