Big world of small people
The master of modern Buryat art Zhamso Radnaev created a world of his images. The fusion of traditions with the skill and imagination of the artist is the uniqueness of this world.
Very kind, warm and even fabulous atmosphere in his works. The artist himself is from Yeravna. The famous Eravna Valley is depicted on the canvases with all the love of her son. Zhamso Radnaev portrays mainly his children, of whom he has three. The daughters of Darim, Narzhilma, Bayarma are now adults, but for their father they are babies, whom he draws on his canvases.

The plots are very simple and somewhat monotonous in color, without bright colors and large spots.
Even the winter landscape does not sparkle or glare, but is muted and quiet, just as the northern nature of Eravna is muted and quiet, just as the character of the artist himself is modest and quiet.
The artist says: “I have a great desire to change. But it doesn't work. I want other colors - bright red, blue, blue and pink! But it doesn't work." And most likely it won't work. You can't go against nature and your own nature.
“I want to try writing like a dream. Not so realism that it is easy to read, but something so “new”. It looks like it's snowing, but it's summer. After all, everything is strange in a dream, you can talk with people who have not been around for a long time - this is the spirit in which you want to work. Relatives suddenly start talking from above, you remember your father, it turns out that they are divorced - they have been gone for a long time, and in a dream they are divorced ... Such dreams ... But how to display this?
Once a great man told me: “You live as if you are going to live for five hundred years without haste” ... So I think you need to hurry.
