Maya Sumbadze

digital print
2013

Sumbadze’s graphic works have been created for several years, and are undergoing various stages of digital and hand drawing. Sumbadze uses factures and ornaments from old papers, things, and characters from her daily life.

From the first image to the final picture the road seems to be never finished. It's always possible to add new details to the work and disappear old parts. Different techniques - hand drawing and drawing with digitizer both replace each other several times during the working process. The artist has been using this technique for more than 10 years.

Works are printed in different formats and different types of materials, their size is not predefined, as long as the creation of the works will include the endless period. The year, the date shown on the website is also not the exact data, because images are still under the working process.
