About The Artwork

“Circumcise in Georgia – Maiming of women genitals” It’s been quite a long time I’m working on my painting now and it found the place in the sun at last. Thematic is taken from more or less familiar or maybe unknown topic to you, but the most terrible fact for me - in more detail, it’s a century-old tradition of three villages - Chantali Bight, Tivi and Saruso - to circumcise Ethnic Avarian girls. The tradition exists more than 200 years and I don’t consider any more dignity-humiliated procedure than the mentioned one. I know that by one painting the topic won’t be settled and there definitely will be continuation, but I would like to respond the way I can express my protest through the media work and contribute my tiny share in the changes. It’s important that the Government of Georgia made the action punishable and great works are to be done in regard of public awareness of the topic as well. Nowadays statistics look like this way: Genitals were cut off from 200 million women and up to 30 million women are still under the risk. video overview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfxL7btJCt0&feature=youtu.be

I've been painting since childhood, from the age of 3. Unfortunately, the education system in Georgian schools has a considerable lack of dedication, especially when it comes to a child’s natural interests in a specific field. Luckily I was studying in college, where I had an opportunity to concentrate on setting my plans to find more inspiration and develop my painting skills. After graduating from the art academy and gaining bachelor’s and master’s degrees in painting and digital art, I started working on personal exhibitions and participating in international projects. As a result, I’ve distributed my paintings in different countries: the USA, Germany, Ukraine, Belgium, Tunisia, Russia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia. During the last few years, I’ve worked on topics such as “Women’s Rights” and “Present traditions encouraged by a mix of ancient culture and religion.” During the preparation of those series, I faced lots of interesting findings. So here, I’ve started networking with other artists. The whole idea of being part of international symposiums and projects for me is to share these valuable insights from my side and meet other artists to explore their experiences brought from diverse cultures and countries. 2022-Group Exhibition at GalerieHampel at Heidelberg, Germany 2022 - Group Exhibition at New Jorg Gallery at Kalmthout, Belgium 2022- Group Exhibition at Centre Culturel International de Hammamet, Tunisia 2022 - Group Exhibition at Wasserturm, Rhein-Neckar-Kreis, Baden-Württemberg, Germany 2022 - Group Exhibition of the Schwetzingen art initiative at Lutherhaus, Germany 2022 - Group Exhibition at Telliskivi Loomelinnak, Creative City gallery, Tallinn, Estonia 2021- Online Exhibition, Fictional Reality-Contemporary Art Residence "Tbilisi" 2021- Group exhibition at Tbilisi International Animation Festival - TIAF 2021, Georgia 2021- Digital Exhibition Week for Women Artists - Online Exhibition 2020- Online project “Home alone”- Online exhibition2019-Solo exhibition-Literary Museum 2020- Ski Competition and Gala Dinner - CCIFG- Auction 2019-Print festival - Life N Style -Wine Factory 1 2019- Group exhibition - Art gallery „Vake“ 2018- International festival "Artisterium as it is" – Karvasla Museum 2018- Festival "Address" - Batumi 2018-“ BI Auction” - Solo 2018- "Passions and rights" - Opening and awarding the exhibition.
