I’m a queer artist, born and raised in Tbilisi, Georgia. I graduated from the Tbilisi State Academy of Arts, Faculty of Graphic Design, but my true passion has always been creating art. Since childhood, I felt different from the other kids—I found freedom in painting, a space where I could fully express myself.

Growing up in a religious family, in a country where homophobia is still deeply rooted, I couldn’t openly embrace or express my identity as a queer artist. That struggle eventually led me to leave Georgia—a decision that was far from easy.

Now, having started a new life, I finally feel free: free to express myself, free to live authentically, and free to create art that speaks my truth. My inspiration comes from queer people and their stories—their resilience, struggles, and beauty.
