From the African colour series Painting

I am an artist based in Tbilisi, Georgia, working primarily with acrylic on canvas. My practice focuses on figurative painting, with a strong emphasis on portraiture as a way to explore identity, inner strength, and emotional presence. I am particularly inspired by African culture and the image of Black women — not as an external aesthetic, but as a symbol of dignity, resilience, and ancestral depth. Through vivid color, texture, and expressive realism, I seek to reveal an inner state rather than a narrative. My figures exist in a quiet, contemplative space, where femininity is expressed through stillness, pride, and self-awareness. Painting for me is a meditative process and an intuitive dialogue with form, color, and the feminine essence that transcends geography and time.
