About the Artist | Natia Banashvili

In my work, I experiment with space, light, forms and movement that help me investigate the visual perception of will to transformation and patterns of interrelation.
I work within two-dimensional mediums, such as painting, drawing and print.
I was born and grew up in Tbilisi, Georgia. I finished my bachelor’s and master’s studies in Fine Arts at the Tbilisi State Academy of Arts, including a one-year exchange program at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome. Since graduation, I have been working in Tbilisi and internationally. I recently moved to Berlin, where I work in my studio. This year I received a DAAD scholarship to continue studying at the Muthesius University of Fine Arts and Design in Kiel, Schleswig-Holstein.
