The Georgian-born artist has had a successful career and his work was respected all over the world. His work was often based on his childhood memories growing up in Sukhumi, now in Georgia’s breakaway Abkhazia.

He witnessed the ethnic conflict in Abkhazia in the 1990s. His father was a Georgian political activist and was killed by Abkhaz nationalists during the 1989 Sukhumi riots.
