I was born in Tbilisi, republic of Georgia
attended the State Academy of fine Arts from 1989 to 1995, graduated with a master’s Degree with the qualification of artist-Sculptor, From 1995 to 1998 worked as an Instructor at the Academy, from 1999 to 2015 worked and lived in USA.
I am a person deeply driven by concerns of the existential relationship of time, space and human interaction. The sculptures express my basic philosophy of existence, time, mass and energy. The essence of my artistic views is revealed in Creation.
Creation is a sculpture looking backward to the beginning of the universal existence. Two diametric energies crash together producing the beginning. Here is the fusion of two entities. Creation shows white limestone shining with the bright light of the ideal in humanity – while black serpentine groans with the midnight of darkness. The heaviness of stone is made fluid with ornamentation and carvings which assert brightness of the vision surrounding creation. The source of the light for our existence is the sun whose face is light, now and forever. Dark shadows pierce the bright areas of sunlit stone – weeping black tears of dark wine of evil and despair. The light is greater than the darkness. Primordial words shout from the darkness. The white need not explain its existence as it will conquer in eternity. Creation was a deeply thoughtful force. Attending all Creation is the god of light. Beyond these antithetical powers flows time, realizing nothing.
Style of my work is Modern abstract ( I’m working in stone, wood and bronze.)
