"Coral...Nefertiti" Sculpture

Salome Kobulashvili is a sculptor and jewellry designer from Georgia, renowned for her innovative approach to mixed-media art. Born into a family with a rich historical heritage, Salome is a granddaughter of King Erekle, one of Georgia’s most significant monarchs. A fascinating connection to her ancestral past, the last residential house of her forebears was eventually transferred to the Tbilisi State Academy of Arts, marking a symbolic link between her family’s history and the institution that nurtures creative expression.

Salome’s artistic journey began in 2016, and since then, she has actively worked in both sculpture and jewelry design, forging a distinctive style that merges traditional and modern elements. Her works are characterized by the use of mineral stones, which she collects worldwide. These stones, left in their authentic shape and texture, form the foundation of her creations, combined with materials such as smalt, clay, bronze, and silver. Through this blend of natural elements and refined craftsmanship, she brings to life a visual dialogue between nature’s raw beauty and artistic manipulation.

With a background in stomatology, Salome has developed a keen eye for intricate details. Her medical training provided her with the technical precision and creativity necessary to see small elements differently and translate them into artistic form. This unique perspective is evident in the delicate and detailed nature of her work, both in her sculptures and in the finely crafted pieces of jewelry she produces.

Salome's artistic contributions have garnered attention both in Georgia and internationally, with her works now residing in private collections around the world. Her art is not only a reflection of her skill and creativity but also an embodiment of Georgia’s cultural richness, history, and natural beauty. Through her sculptures and jewelry, Salome Kobulashvili continues to make a lasting impact on the contemporary art world.
