Michael Arbolishvili

Hello, I'm Mikheil Arbolishvili, an artist who has long believed that my art speaks for itself, telling its own stories without the need for additional explanation. However, with years of observation, I've come to realize that each painting holds a unique narrative, a story worth sharing. In my later years, I've decided to take the time to convey the reasons, emotions, hopes, and concerns behind each of my works.

In the journey ahead, I commit to sharing the stories behind every painting exhibited on Saatchi Art. I believe that by understanding the context, viewers can connect with the artwork on a deeper level. While a picture's name may hint at its essence, the true narrative enriches the experience for art lovers.

As you explore my gallery, I encourage you to approach the titles with a touch of sarcasm, for in most of my works, I convey a sense of humor. My goal is to gift you a small smile and happiness through my paintings. Your joy warms my heart, and I find immense satisfaction in brightening even one person's day.
Please note that the pricing of my art is symbolic and subjective. Don't hesitate to propose your own price for a piece that captures your heart. I'm more than happy to provide additional details upon request. T...
