OtGONBAYAR Ershuu
was born in 1981 in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. His artist name is OtGO. His talent was discovered and by the age of 15 years he had his own solo exhibitions. He studied traditional Mongolian painting in Ulaanbaatar (1996 – 1998). After studying, he became a painter and restorer on several research trips to historical sites in Mongolia. In the Buddhist-Lamaist monasteries, he studied various techniques and the iconography of miniature painting as well as their spiritual background (1998 – 2004). Beside his free artistic creations, his work includes about six hundred „research miniaturen“. From 2007 – 2010 he studied at the Institute of Art in Context of the University of the Arts Berlin, which he completed with the Master of Arts. After studying, OtGO opened the first Mongolia Cultural Center in Berlin (2010 – 2013) and founded Gallery ZURAG Berlin (2010 – 2014) It is the first gallery founded and operated by a Mongol outside of Mongolia. In 2015 OtGO was awarded the „GRAND PRIX“ of the International Biennial of Painting, Chisinau, Moldova. Since 2018, he has been working on a voluntary basis as "Chief Curator and External Affairs of The National Art Gallery of Mongolia" parallel to his artistic work. In 2019, he participated in the "Curating" project of the Berlin Universität der Künste and received the university certificate.

Artist OtGO deserves international success and admiration. More and more collectors and enthusiasts are enjoying his paintings. It is also remarkable that there are already many international scientific studies on his work. Such an interest in the creations of an artist usually only develops with older or already deceased artists.
