Nutsa Esebua lives and works in Tbilisi Georgia (born in 1992). She studied Fine Arts, Painting at the Tbilisi State Academy of Arts, and graduated in 2016 with a master’s degree. Then she attended the Informal Master Program in “Creative Mediation” at the CCA - Center of Contemporary Art - Tbilisi. After completing her degrees she received scholarship of residency in Zurich, Switzerland. After working and living there for 4 months she held the first solo exhibition “flow”.
Esebua’s artistic practice is characterized by attentive observation and careful questioning of her surroundings. The main tool of observation is drawing, where the ideas start its materialization. In final work, it could turn into different forms and material, or remain the same.
In her drawings, paintings, and photographs, the artist interprets scenes and areas in which she finds herself. Visual impressions and researched knowledge play an important role in giving the perceived an appropriate form of artistic realization. Furthermore, she is interested in time changes. In her works, Esebua follows the footsteps of the past in order to make the disappeared visible again and to contextualize it in the present.
