To survive, the villagers spend their time between animal breeding and looking for gold dust in the Naryn river; Their way of life is in harmony with their natural surroundings.
"I was born in 1964 in Naryn, Kyrgyst...展开an. I come from a very big family of ten children. My father is a farmer and my mother a housewife. The nature of our Motherland, the mountains, and my grandfather left a strong influence on my creative work. My grandfather taught me to love my land, my nation, and the very colorful traditions. My work depicts the whole of my life and the lives of my people. "JAIYK" is the first page in the big story about the life and culture of the Kyrgyz people and their wonderful land, which they love and care about."~Temirbek Birnazarov
