MY STORY
Origin and Process
Lolita was born in Tbilisi in 1987, in a place shaped by contrast: warmth and silence, chaos and control. She never formally studied art. It was not a deliberate path, but something that found her during a time when language failed to hold what she was feeling. Painting became a way to process deep emotional experiences such as grief, love, shame, and numbness. Over time, it grew into a lifelong practice. Her work often features faceless figures, gravestones, raw text, and layered, chaotic lines. She uses oil pastel, acrylic, and mixed media to shape emotional narratives that resist neat interpretation. Lolita does not seek perfection or resolution in her art. Her paintings are spaces for wounds, confessions, and unspoken truths. In 2022, she began the Contemporary Icons series — a body of work focused not on religious icons, but emotional ones. These pieces act as symbols of memory, survival, and the invisible weight people carry.
Recognition and Intention
Lolita has exhibited internationally in Tbilisi, Venice, Rome, London, and Dubai, with group exhibitions such as Raskat Movement, Venice Contemporary, Rome Contemporary, Its Liquid Art Fair, and Chromatic POP. Her works are part of private collections in Berlin, Cologne, Düsseldorf, London, Tel Aviv, and Georgia. She is represented by Bruno Massa Gallery (Paris, Tbilisi, Seoul) and Oblong Contemporary Art Gallery in Dubai. On August 1st, 2025, she will open her first solo exhibition at Bruno Massa Gallery, alongside the launch of her debut online exhibition hosted on Kunstmatrix. In 2023, Artleove Magazine featured her in the article In Control of the Chaos, a title that captured the essence of her practice. Lolita does not create to impress. She creates to remain present and real — to give shape to what cannot be said. Through that process, she invites others to see themselves more clearly, too.
