Available to hire
Hi, I’m Nino Gabashvili, a Chicago-based surrealist artist working with mixed media and watercolor to craft dreamlike, symbolic narratives. My practice explores visionary themes and meditative inspirations, blending texture, layers, and occasional glitter to highlight meaning.
I have exhibited work regionally, created commissioned pieces, and designed visual displays that merge artistic storytelling with client experience. I’m passionate about connecting with private collectors and collaborating on thematic series that push creative boundaries.
