The work “Fufala” by the artist Andria Natsvlishvili was used for the cover picture
Dear friends of art,
It is a great pleasure for us to present to you Georgian art, represented by the priest Andria Natsvlishvili, Makrine Tkebuchava, Mikheil Makharadze and Natia Beqauri! Many thanks also go to the organisation Georgian Art House, represented by Levan Telia, without whom this exhibition would not have been possible. On display are very different art styles, but all of them represent the essence of Georgian culture and offer visitors an insight into this beautiful and culturally rich country.
We would like to cordially invite you to the vernissage on 20 April. As is tradition, it will once again be introduced by a piano concert, this time by the young pianist Dongyang Xing with works by F. Chopin, C. Schumann, R. Schumann, F. Mendelssohn-Bartholdy and F.

Mikheil Makharadze was born on 12 July 1994. He graduated from St Tbel Abuserisdze High School in 2012 and studied philosophy at the State University of Shota Rustaveli in Batumi from 2012 to 2018.
“The main theme of my work is the human being and everything related to humanity. For me, man is the highest value, it is he who gives meaning and value to the given world. In art, I explore emotions and ideas, the symbolic world around us that we ourselves create.
The direction is symbolic in content, but the style of the visual narrative is close to surrealism. All works are made on canvas and acrylic…”

Priest Andria Natsvlishvili
Photo by Mariam Vardzieli
- Member of the Union of Artists of Georgia.
- Member of the art organisation “Georgian Art House”.
- Painter/Calligrapher
- Surrealism, Abstraction
Andria Natsvlishvili was born on 28 April 1955 and began painting at a young age. at the Moscow Art Institute (1980-84), long before he turned to the church. In 2002, he decided to enter religious life. In 2011, his old passion finally caught up with him; he took up the brush again and held his first personal exhibition in Georgia in 2013 at the Centre for Spiritual and Intellectual Development of Youth of the Patriarchate of Georgia. The exhibition was dedicated to the Catholicos-Patriarch of All Georgia, His Holiness and Blessed Ilia II. He has also been exhibiting regularly since 2013, primarily in his home country.
In Germany, visitors had the opportunity to see the artist’s works at the Berlin gallery ARS PRO DONO from 1 March to 25 April 2021 with the exhibition “Strange Worlds”. It was a series of oil paintings.
A distinct individual style is recognisable in each work; one can assume references to the Renaissance and Mannerism from Giuseppe Arcimboldo to Hieronymus Bosch, but also a connection to Surrealism, which is particularly evident in the magical atmosphere of dreams, even if the impetus is different.
The flowing, shimmering quality that can be achieved with oil colours, reminiscent of oil paintings on puddles, is perhaps more than just a pictorial medium. Some of the works initially appear to be veritable swirls of colour which, on closer inspection, reveal more and more details, sometimes organic, sometimes technical-looking structures. Deliberately chosen symbolic content or a dreamlike flow of inspiration? Discover the charm of strange worlds…
