A contemporary author from Transbaikalia, member of the Union of Artists of Russia, corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Arts, Dashi created a collection of artistic images in the "eastern" style, filling them with the semantics of folk myths and legends, reflexes of Siberian shamanism and iconography of the culture of Buddhism. Syncretism of influences in his art is quite organic, like the culture of modern Buryatia in its various manifestations, including visual art.

"Meditation" as a device for the inner personal development, as a spiritual comprehension of the world, is the theme of the exhibition. The sculpture with the same name is a figure of a wrestler sitting in the traditional lotus position before the fight. It seems that all of a sudden a short moment of struggle will occur and the viewer will comprehend the moment of spiritual illumination and physical perfection.

Dashi Namdakov's works attract attention with high energy of creative impulses, professional skills, high quality of art casting in bronze. His art is highly rewarded in Russia and abroad.

"Khanshaim" sculpture is installed in a square in Kazakhstan and is dedicated to the ancient history of Eurasia.
