“I was born in Tbilisi. I grew up in the village of Beloti, Tskhinvali district. I was forced to flee in August 2008 and currently I reside in Tbilisi with my family. I studied at the Ilia State University and the Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia. I used to work at the Tbilisi Police Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but I quit my job… One of the reasons is art! I love to draw, to read – I often did not have enough time for that. I want to learn and develop my skills. Now I have a temporary job and I draw a lot.”
