“This mural, located in Varketili on the outskirts of Tbilisi, depicts a woman in traditional local attire surrounded by symbols of her era and Georgian heritage. She dominates the canvas, brought to life in vivid colors, symbolizing the revival of tradition from a modern perspective. The distortion and alteration of her face represent the various facets of her personality.”

““Mokhevian ” – that’s how the mural in Varketili is titled, created by Gera 1. He reimagines the 20th-century black and white photos in his distinctive style, infusing them with a burst of vibrant colors that are characteristic of his artwork, adding a contemporary twist to Georgian tradition.”
