was born in Batumi, Georgia, and for over twenty years I have lived and worked in Rome. My artistic practice began in childhood as a spontaneous form of survival and inner transformation: drawing was for me a safe space, a way to give shape to silence and create alternative worlds to the pain I experienced.
I trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome, specializing in set design, and previously at VGIK in Moscow, the historic State University of Cinematography, where I graduated in animation set design. Over time, my experience has developed across painting, theater and film scenography, illustration, and visual writing.
In recent years, I have worked in the world of auteur cinema as a set designer and assistant director, taking part in international festivals such as Venice, Berlin, Cannes, and Turin, with projects that weave together memory, aesthetics, and visual narrative.
My pictorial language is nourished by stratifications: I work with oil and watercolor on cotton paper, exploring the relationship between body, time, and dissolution. I am interested in themes of identity, the unconscious, and the symbolic, and each work is born as a ritual gesture and a living archive.
In 2025, I began the transformation of space in Rome (310 m²) into a creative studio and environment for artistic experimentation, which opens its doors for the first time on the occasion of Rome Art Week, as a gesture of sharing and rebirth.
