About the Artist | Natia Banashvili

Through space, light, form, color and movement I search for visual manifestations of the perception of the will to psychic transformation and for patterns of personal interrelationship and interdependence.
I work with two-dimensional media such as painting, drawing and printing.
I was born and raised in Tbilisi, Georgia. I completed my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Fine Arts at the Tbilisi State Academy of Art, including a one-year exchange program at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome. Since graduating I have been working independently in Tbilisi, Georgia and internationally. This year I received a one-year scholarship from the DAAD to continue my studies at the Muthesius Art Academy in Kiel.
