Still Life with Flowers

Canvas, Tempera

Manana Eloshvili is a Georgian artist born in 1962 who lives and works in Tbilisi, Georgia. Since 1999, she is a member of the Georgian Artists Union. At the beginning of her artistic path who held two solo exhibitions in Tbilisi, at Karvasla and the Museum of Medal Art. Since then, she has participated in numerous group exhibitions. Her artworks now reside in many private collections across the world. In parallel with painting, she writes poetry and short stories. For Manana, these forms of expression are not separate. They flow into one another, shifting from image to word and from word back to color and line. She determines her creative process as a continuous transition, a dialogue between the visual and the poetic, echoing my inner aesthetics and expressing a single drop of the cosmic order. Her exploration of art extends beyond the surface. She delves into its deeper, spiritual layers through both an esoteric-surrealist perspective and emotional-impulsive dimensions. Recently, she published a book titled , which brings together her poetry and paintings, forming an intimate synthesis of vision and voice.

Manana does not distinguish between art and life. For her, they are inseparable as a unified experience. Inspiration often arrives through silent struggles, through invisible tensions and pain, yet it is in those moments that a sudden flash of happiness can appear fleeting, dreamlike, but powerful enough to illuminate everything. She does not claim to know my mission, but she strives to uncover the hidden mysteries of the world, not to provoke, but to gently guide the viewer toward the same sense of wonder that gave birth to her own inspiration. A painting for the artist is a mediator. She would rather it capture a single beautiful moment than reflect sorrow. And if she was to be called something, she would wish to be known as: “An artist — a mediator of happiness through paintings."
