SANDS TAMER Photograph

I was born in Georgia /the former USSR /, in Tbilisi. My life has been full of adventures and interesting stories. I began making artdolls and puppets when I was 25 years old and paintings after one strange night when I suddenly died while my sleep and then was returned by an unknown lady.. who came up to me through the door and helped. (who knows, who she was? ) A week later I got ill. I was very hot, when I got up and began seeking for a cardboard to make a painting. I was twenty seven years old then.. Many years passed after that.Now I am author of about 600 paintings. In 1975 I finished music school (8 classes, the piano),In 1976 - secondary school number 66, in 1983 graduated from the Politechnical Institute as an engineer, In Georgia). I had worked as a professional engineer before my fortune turned round and heard the voice of my heart..I had already been an author of 3 plays, not so many poems (unpublished, but used in our marionette performances) .. In 1990 I founded marionette theatre "The Sky Of Tbilisi". Puppets-marionettes and paintings have continued my life together..
