Tariel Soziashvili, born on October 20, 1974, is a Georgian artist renowned for his work in painting, stone, wood, and metal. A graduate of the Tbilisi State Academy of Arts, Soziashvili’s career spans multiple disciplines, reflecting his deep engagement with diverse materials and techniques.
His work has been exhibited in prestigious venues such as the “National Gallery” and the “Art Alley” gallery, where he participated in numerous group exhibitions. He has also held two solo exhibitions, including at Tbilisi’s History Museum in 2001 and 2022, and at the “Old Gallery” in 2003.
Soziashvili’s paintings and sculptures are held in private collections across the world, including Austria, Germany, England, Sweden, Estonia, and the United States. His art seeks harmony between the past and the present, exploring their intuitive parallels and presenting light—both polychromatic and monochromatic—as a central theme of his creations.
Tariel Soziashvili’s art is a profound exploration of the metaphysical and emotional dimensions of existence, expressed through a unique blend of expressionism, surrealism, and conceptual art. His works delve into the complexities of human consciousness, often challenging traditional logic and terminology, reflecting his belief that the most significant aspects of creation transcend explanation. This philosophical inquiry is evident in his fascination with contemporary art’s ability to push the boundaries of awareness beyond established "meridians" toward true individualism.
Through blurred, gestural lines, distorted organic forms, and a subdued yet striking color palette punctuated with bursts of vibrancy, Soziashvili evokes a haunting sense of introspection and emotional tension. His use of rough textures, layered materials, and asymmetrical compositions creates a visceral impact that draws the viewer into his fragmented narratives. Themes of alienation, identity, and existential struggle dominate his work.
Soziashvili’s art combines raw emotional intensity with deep conceptual meaning, presenting motifs like fragmented faces, surreal creatures, and symbolic elements that suggest communication, memory, and the passage of time. By prioritizing distortion and abstraction, he focuses on the psychological and emotional states of his subjects, inviting viewers to project their own interpretations and confront universal questions of existence. His ability to harmonize expressive techniques with surreal imagery establishes him as an original voice in contemporary art, capable of resonating deeply with both intellectual and emotional audiences.
