Maya Jimsheleishvili

I was born in 1979 in Tbilisi, Georgia, and have always had a deep passion for art, particularly painting. I developed an interest in painting from an early age, holding my first exhibition while still in kindergarten. After finishing school, I realized that my true calling was painting and decided to attend the Tbilisi State Academy of Arts, from which I graduated in 2003. I also attended short courses in art and interior design at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London (UAL).

My works are featured in private collections in Georgia, New York, Monaco, and Estonia.

Currently, I run a boutique specializing in furniture and interior accessories and have my own interior design studio, where I collaborate with other designers on various projects. One of my most notable projects was decorating the interior of “The Buddha-Bar Tbilisi,” which included installing wall sconces, positioning chandeliers, and painting dragons on canvas, a signature element of the brand. The restaurant is now one of the landmarks of the capital.

graduated Tbilisi State Academy of Arts in 2003. studied interior design and art at Central St.Martyn`s College in 2009 (London),
