oil painting old city - rainbow colour art Print

Hello I am Avtandil Nikabadze, a painter from Georgia - Caucasian Region. I live in Tbilisi - the capital of Georgia. I have joined in saacthiart since 2021. I like realistic style. The themes of the paintings are mostly Georgian - local ethnographic items, landscapes and situations. I was attracted to painting from my childhood, but my parents were against to follow this profession. After meeting the painter Avtandil Varazi I entered the Academy of arts, painting faculty. Avtandil varazi, Corneli Sanadze, Edmund Kalandadze were teachers of me. Painting was always hobby. I used to paint for my own pleasure. Though I have participated in many exhibitions, including Berlin. In 2001 because of financial troubles I had to paint in order to earn money. We have a beautiful little garden in Tbilisi, where the painters sell their works. 95% of the clients are tourists. It's already 20 years I have been the member of the garden society. 90% of my paintings have been bought by tourists. Then Some of them used to give me orders from their countries too. My nephew ( Giorgi/George) and my niece ( khatia) have always told me to try selling on the international site too, but I always said - No, because the paintings were sold well in the garden. Though because of covid pandemic the garden was closed, the tourists have disappeared and now I have been persuaded by my nephew and niece easily :)). They believe that people will like my paintings here too. I will be so glad if their hopes come true. It will be a big motivation for me to paint for a long time. Now I am 73 :))
