Poetic symbolism rooted in Tbilisi, folklore, and Paris

Biography

Lado Gudiashvili emerged from the Tbilisi art scene of the 1910s and spent formative years in Paris alongside other Georgian modernists. His paintings combine theatrical elegance, folk memory, medieval echoes, and a sharply personal line.

Across painting, book illustration, costume design, and murals, Gudiashvili became one of the most recognizable visual voices of twentieth-century Georgia.
