I create art because it makes me the happiest version of myself—nothing else feels quite as real or fulfilling.

What is your favorite type of art to create?

I like creating art that feels honest—simple, but with meaning. I love working with faces and showing people new parts of themselves ❤️😉

Where do you find inspiration?

In emotions—stress, calm, people, real life. My goal is to gather all memories around me 🫡

What would you do with $25,000?

I’d buy a camera and a phone (which i need 🙏), then help young people get cameras too. The people of tiny country of Georgia are no strangers to financial hardships, but we understand the importance of community support. Art healed me when I needed it most, and I want to pass that on to someone else. And buy tickets to see my Son 👶
