I was born in Tbilisi on June 13, 1967.

 

In 1991, I graduated from Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University, Faculty of Applied Mathematics. A year later, in 1992, I completed my studies at the same university in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, Department of Fine and Applied Arts, specializing in Decorative Weaving.

 

Since 1991, I have been working as a software developer at the T. Tsertsvadze Scientific-Practical Center of Infectious Pathology, AIDS and Clinical Immunology. Despite my professional path in technology, art and handicraft have always held a special place in my life.

 

From an early age, I was drawn to knitting, textile art, and the creation of gobelin tapestries. For me, handicraft is not simply a practice — it is a way of expressing my inner world.

 

In recent years, I have actively explored different fields of handmade art. Since 2023, I have completed several professional courses, including ribbon embroidery, polymer clay doll making, and cloisonné enamel techniques. Each new technique opens another door to creative inspiration.

 

In every piece I create, I invest my heart and soul, which makes each work a unique story of its own.

 

Handicraft has become an inseparable part of my life — a constant companion that brings me joy, harmony, and creative fulfillment.

 

I have participated in various exhibitions.
