Interview with: Nini Razmadze
April 2026
Welcome Nini, first tell us about your background and why you chose to pursue this career.
Do you remember the first artwork that stirred something inside you?
I don’t remember a single artwork that started everything. It was more like a quiet accumulation of encounters with images that felt strangely alive. At some point I realized that paintings could hold things that language couldn’t fragments of memory, emotional atmospheres, things that feel familiar but have no clear origin.
Who are your favourite artists, and who built your creative imaginary?
My visual imagination is shaped by artists working with psychological space, especially Francis Bacon and Alex Colville. I’m also heavily inspired by early PlayStation 1 and Nintendo 64 graphics their low-res, dreamlike quality feels
How important is it for viewers to understand your message?
I’m not interested in a single interpretation. Ambiguity allows the viewer to enter the work with their own memories and associations.
Do you believe artistic passion is destined or chosen?
Maybe both. Sometimes it feels like something you slowly become aware of rather than something you decide.
Has any artwork of yours changed meaning over time?
Yes, many of them. Paintings sometimes become like memories themselves they change depending on when you look at them.
Can you pinpoint a single moment when you realized art was your purpose?
It wasn’t a single moment. It was more like a slow realization that painting was the only language that could contain certain thoughts and emotions.For me art is a way of materializing invisible experiences.
What do you want your art to convey?
A sense of recognition like encountering something strangely familiar but impossible to fully explain.
We are at the end of this short interview, would you like to add something about your artistic research?
How did you find the collaboration with our gallery?
I want my work to feel like a memory that doesn’t belong to you, but somehow recognizes you.
Like walking into a room you’ve never been in and still knowing exactly where the window should be. Or remembering a dream that never actually happened.
