New paintings, from the series "Divine particles", are based on my experience as a bone marrow donor for my sister. After successful surgery, I became fascinated by the nano world and genetic images, with the focus on the idea of DNA.

In my work, double helix has become a symbol of life and of constant movement. In the search for the beauty of the particles, hidden from the human eye, I was inspired by the idea of forms rather then the scientific truth. As a fine artist, I am aware, that visual world is governed by it’s own visual laws.

My professional degree and training is rooted in the classical European traditions; and I am influenced by the ancient culture of my birth place - Georgia, where I graduated from Tbilisi Academy of Fine Arts. I believe my background gave me a variety of tools to create my own visual language.
For the past 20 years, I’ve been living in the United States and working mostly as a figurative artist. Here, I was able to explore, travel and grow further as an artist and a human being.
Although I have shown in the US and in Europe, and my work is on display in public and private collections in many parts of the World, this is my first public exhibit in Washington, D.C., as I only moved here few months ago.
