I was born in 1979 in Tbilisi, Georgia. Since I was a little, I've always had a passion for art, specifically painting and music. I was often arranging concerts in my elementary school. I went to a musical gymnasium for 11 years. While being there I performed at several concerts with a symphonic orchestra and participated in international music contests held in Tbilisi. I became a laureate of the national contest of Georgia (1996) and took part in an international contest in Hannover, Germany (1997). On the other hand I had passion for painting from an early age. I had my first exhibition when I was in kindergarten.
After graduating from the gymnasium I realized that my true vocation was painting and I decided to go to the Tbilisi State Academy of Arts, from which I graduated in 2003. I attended short courses in Art and interior design at Central Saint Martin college in London, (UAL:) have participated in many group exhibitions in Georgia, had several personal exhibitions in Tbilisi and Tallinn (Estonia). I took part in International Art Festival held in Mtskheta (Georgia). My works have been held in private collections in Georgia as well as in Estonia. I run my boutique of furniture and interior accessories and have my own interior design studio where I work with other designers on various projects. From all the projects I’ve worked on I’d like to underline my participation in decorating the interior of “The Buddha-Bar Tbilisi” including installing the wall sconces, locating chandeliers and painting dragons on canvas, which represent the signature of the brand. The restaurant has already become one of the landmarks of the capital.
I work in oil, tempera, gold leaf, ink, pastel, graphite. I love playing with the materials, mix them and enjoy the results, even if it is a failure. As a graphic artist, one of the very important things for me is “the line” - each line in my drawings or paintings is a stream of energy. I experiment with different styles hopefully moving to the right direction to find myself. My art has taught me who I am but I still continue exploring the deepest parts of my soul. I enjoy searching for harmony of colors.
