About

Born in Ulaan Ude, a capital of Buryatia, Northern Mongolia and nowadays-part of Siberia, Yuma Radne started painting from an early age and attended an art school since she was 5. Having started developing her own style, she began participating in group shows in Siberia when she was 14, after appearance in local newspapers. When she was a teenager, she dropped out of school and began painting full-time. Radne held her first solo show at the National Museum of Buryatia in 2018, being 17, and soon after she moved to Saint Petersburg to study monumental painting in Shtiglitz Academy. In 2019 she had rejected the traditional way of education there and flew to Austria, where she studied painting in the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. Yuma has made an exchange year at the Slade School of Art. Lives and works in London.

Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork

I have made a girl's portrait and two ambiguous figures.

In the 'Full of beans' I attempted to make a weird funny creature on a horse that is looking up to the sun.

In 'Intuition' I painted a feeling on the girl's face. It is a feeling I've been having often lately.

In 'Pilot' I used my old sketch that I did for the 'Trying to understand' painting. I changed a few things and added the glasses to the laughing person, which I think makes the whole work complete. The red creature is not supposed to be anything specific. It is, on the opposite, everything: it can be a horse, can be a dragon. Sometimes I dream of things that I can't exactly describe, like, what was it? So this is the idea, it's one of my ""dreamy"" animals.
