BIOGRAPHY
Mikhail Gogava (Gogava) is a Georgian artist currently living in Tbilisi. Known for his conceptual style, experimental and mixed media. He figuratively uses objects or strange animals that appear in a contoured manner and encourage one to think about its depth, what message the artist wanted to convey, which evokes different emotions. His source of inspiration comes from walking alone on the street or in the park, which gives him the opportunity to think alone.
Mikhail is a participant in many international festivals, a finalist of the Italian international festival “Artkeys”, a certifier of the “Luxembourg Art Prize”, and a participant in the international exhibition “Transition” in London. His works are kept in private collections in different countries, as well as in the Literary Museum of Odessa, Ukraine.
