Nina Akhobadze
Nina Akhobadze (b. 1997, Samtredia, Georgia) is a Vienna–based painter whose work explores the emotional charge of abstraction. Trained in Painting and Graphic Arts at the Tbilisi State Academy of Arts and currently studying at the University of Art and Design Linz, she moves fluently between classical oil painting and contemporary visual languages. Her canvases are built in layers—gestural marks, fields of colour, traces of drawing—where memories, fragments of daily life and fleeting perceptions fold into one another. Rather than depicting a single scene, Nina’s paintings open up spaces that feel halfway between a landscape and a state of mind: moments of motion, hesitation, and after-images that stay with you longer than expected. For ANIMARA Art Editions, Nina presents works that highlight this tension between structure and openness. Each selected piece balances precise, almost architectural compositions with intuitive gestures, inviting the viewer to slow down, notice small shifts in colour and texture, and inhabit the painting as a living, changing space.
Phillip Grechulevic
Phillip “Filo” Grechulevic is a Tbilisi-based artist whose mixed-media canvases pair tactile precision with quietly charged narratives. His work has appeared across Georgia’s independent gallery scene, including the solo presentation Present State at NINO GOGE GALLERY, and in climate-focused group exhibitions supported by EU/UNDP initiatives. Filo’s imagery traces the afterlife of materials—fragments, seams, layered pigments—where waste and wear become structure. In The Last Generation of Pollution, consumption and residue move from background to subject, a line of inquiry that anchors his recent practice. Working from his Tbilisi studio, he advances this exploration of material memory on layered surfaces, refining a language of repair and time that is measured, precise, and built to endure.
