When oil painter Khaimchig Zayat from Mongolia came to China six months ago and visited Yinshan for the first time, he was astonished by the cliff paintings.
"They look like aliens, but I immediately feel like I can communicate with the painters through time travel. The inspiration seems to have mixed with my blood," he says.
Zayat believes in shamanism. He says the cliff paintings become colorful when he closes his eyes. Shamanism is practiced by many ethnic groups in Northern Asia.
"It is art, but it is also a communication between me and gods," Zayat says.
Under his pen, the abstract lines change into colorful images with metaphysical themes to represent Mongolic philosophies and universal views.
