Uuriintuya Dagvasambuu is a leading proponent of contemporary Mongol zurag painting, drawing on traditional patterning to reflect the experiences of Mongolian women. She frequently includes recognisable motifs from traditional Buddhist painting and East and Central Asian aesthetics, as well as psychologically charged imagery of contemporary life. Her paintings combine poetic and everyday imagery, creating subtle contrasts between the manufactured and the natural or organic, and between intense detail and flat planes of colour. Path to Wealth resembles the common Buddhist symbol of a lotus flower, from which dangles a collection of out-of-scale household objects while the stem is composed of a writhing mass of human bodies thrust together – a recurrent motif in Uuriintuya’s paintings.
