About Me

Hello there! I'm a visual artist originally from Tbilisi, Georgia, currently based in Istanbul. I specialize in editorial illustration, design, motion graphics, and video editing. In my free time, I love exploring new places sketching, walking with my dog, hiking or making music and experimenting with different sounds and genres. My ultimate goal is to create music videos that combine my passion for music and visuals.

I enjoy and am always on the lookout for new inspiration, whether it's through traveling, meeting new people, reading books, listening music, watching movies, or exploring the latest advancements in science and technology as well as intersection of technology and philosophy.

As a traveler, I'm excited to immerse myself in new cultures and experience everything each destination has to offer. I'm a foodie at heart and love discovering new dishes and local specialties. When it comes to accommodation, I prefer staying with locals which is the main reason to be here as it allows me to get a deeper understanding of the culture and language of the region and everyday life of people in that region.

(You can expect a respectful, friendly, and open-minded guest/host who's always up for a good conversation and a shared experience. I'm eager to connect with fellow creatives and travelers, and am always looking for new opportunities to collaborate and learn from others.)

Music, Movies, and Books

When it comes to music, my taste is quite eclectic and varies depending on my mood. Some of the artists that have been with me since my teenage years and will be recognisable for everyone reading this include Thom Yorke, Damon Albarn, Jungle, or M83 and I just enjoy exploring new genres and discovering hidden gems. I'm particularly drawn to film composers lately and their ability to create a powerful atmosphere through music.

As for movies, I'm a self-proclaimed screen worm and have watched countless films over the years. Some of my favorites include Everything Everywhere All At Once, After Yang, Parasite, In Bruges, and a variety of sci-fi classics like Ghost in the Shell, Annihilation, Ex Machina or The Matrix. I'm always on the lookout for thought-provoking and visually stunning movies, and love discussing them with others.

When it comes to books, I've been on a sci-fi kick lately, reading titles like Dune, The Three-Body Problem series, and Children of Time. I'm also interested in non-fiction books that offer unique perspectives on history and the future, like those written by Yuval Noah Harari, as well as spiritual exploration books like those by Eckhart Tolle.
