Otar Imerlishvili

Born in 1970 in a family of ceramic artists, Georgian painter Otar Imerlishvili is known for his
whimsical scenes that depict daily life through the colored lens of innocence and wonder.
Travel, love-making, bathing, dining and dancing are all part of the visual narrative.
In some paintings, grassy grounds and multistoried houses are set on top of each other – cities
become towers. Often they simply turn into men – one city meets another city in a friendly
handshake.
“From sublime dreamscapes to idiosyncratic family portraits and detailed images inspired
by my childhood, my work is both contemporary and symbolic of the traditions of
Georgian life. My main inspiration is the set of stories from my own life – my childhood and
the everyday being of my city, Tbilisi,” says the artist.

Born on 2nd January 1970

1985-89 graduated from I. Nikoladze Art School.
1989-1993 graduated from the Tbilisi State Academy of Arts Faculty of Restoration.
Since 1988 he takes part in exhibitions in Georgia and abroad.
