რაც თავი მახსოვს მუდამ ხატვა იყო ჩემი ცხოვრებისთვის უმნიშვნელოვანესი ნაწილი, რის გამოც გადავწყვიტე ამ პროფესიას გავყოლოდი და ჩამებარებინა სამხატვრო აკადემიაში. ჩაბარებამდე 4 წელი ვემზადებოდი უკვე გამოცდილი ფერმწერის სახელოსნოში, ხოლო ჩაბარების მერე არაერთხელ მიმიღია მონაწილეობა ჯგუფურ გამოფენებში და მათ ორგანიზებაშიც, მაქვს სერტიფიკატები, დიპლომები. მხატვრობასთან ერთად ასევე ხელოვნების სხვა დარგებსაც ვეხები, როგორიცაა: ვიოლინოზე დაკვრა და სიმღერა/გუნდში გალობა.

Nino Tsertsvadze

My name is Nino Tsertsvadze , and I am a  second-year student at the Faculty of Painting at the Academy of Arts. I’m from Georgi ,Telavi, Where I graduated from the Elene Akhvlediani Art School.My goal is to succeed in the field of art,Which I think will be possible with small steps. So far, there have been no grand and highly celebrated exhibitions or awards, only  small group exhibitions and events at the art school and the art academy.

For me, painting and colours is a peaceful experience, and I hope others feel the same peace when looking at my work as I do when creating it.

Artist’s Full Name: Liz Rigal Kukava

Year of Birth: 2005

Education:

2011-2023: 51st Public School of Tbilisi.  She finished as a top student in all disciplines and received a gold medal for outstanding academic achievement.

She also received the Academy’s top students’s scholarship for the duration of her education.

Artistic Vision:

I am pursuing the theme – unity of our existence in art and writing. I use my interest in biology, palaeontology, psychology and many other sciences, while working on the themes of natural and anthropogenic space conjunction and beings (plants, animals, objects) which are their intrinsic parts.

I believe  that we are all deeply intertwined with our space and others within it, and as artists we can influence it in many ways, which can have both positive and negative consequences we can not yet perceive as clearly. I think being an artist is a style of life – a great responsibility to perfect one’s self and help others reconnect with their inner world, which also positively affects their perception of the world around them.

Contests and Exhibitions:

2012–2015: “The 22nd Annual World Children’s Picture Contest” by IE-NO-HIKARI Association (based in Japan), winner of the Bronze Prize. She  submitted her painting “Vintage” in 2012 and was awarded in 2015. 88 countries participated in the competition.

I’m Nino Pitskhelauri, a 21-year-old fourth-year Bachelor’s student in Book Design and Illustration at the Faculty of Fine Arts, Tbilisi State Academy of Arts. I mainly work in graphics and printmaking, especially etching, but I also enjoy painting. My work is inspired by visual storytelling and surreal atmospheres, often reflecting on inner states, identity, and emotional fragmentation.  I’ve always felt a connection between my art and the kind of worlds David Lynch creates. I love printed media for its physicality and slow, immersive process, and I approach the book as a space where images can unfold their own rhythm. In 2024, I took part in the Erasmus+ mobility program at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava (AFAD), where workshops and lectures on contemporary painting and typography helped shape the way I approach illustration and print.

Biography

I’m a student of book design and illustration at Apollon Kutateladze Tbilisi State Academy of Art from 2023. I received funding and a scholarship from the Tbilisi State Academy of Arts. Also, participated in various student events, such as the studfest, the “Frozen Frame” exhibition, and a comics workshop. One of the biggest events for me was the street art festival “Niko maglivi” in October 2025. My friend and I painted on a 5×11 centimeters wall. You can see our work on this post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DRuK7ZjjFDW/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

My works:

“Bird “ and “Bird 2” technique:  monotype, size : 21,5/ 31cm, 2023 year

“Night” technique: monotype, size: 41,5/ 50cm, 2024 year

“Illustration of the man who loved literature”  technique: etching,  size: 42,5/30 cm, 2025 year

“Ensemble”  material: acrylic, size: 25/ 34,5 cm, 2025-2026 years

“Chair-scissors”  technique: etching  size: 31/ 33 cm, 2025 year

I am Nini Razmadze, a Georgian artist based in Tbilisi and a painting student at the Tbilisi State Academy of Arts. My work grows from a sense of absence  from the moment I realized that parts of my childhood no longer existed in my memory. This discovery was painful and unsettling, and it became the starting point of my practice. Painting allows me to search for what is missing, to reconstruct fragments of a past that cannot be fully accessed. I work with painting and mixed media, building fragile, layered surfaces that mirror the instability of memory and the way personal history is shaped by both truth and imagination. In 2025, I became an artist represented by Florence Contemporary Gallery, a step that marked a quiet but meaningful expansion of my artistic path.
