sharashidze david: "the beauty of trivial things e.g. every day routine is the source of poetry and inspiration: a cup of coffee in the morning, a woman reading a book, vegetables on the table, a glass of red wine poured by a friend, buildings and cities - all of these things.

everything which gives me joy in life is present in my pictures and there is no other colour than red which - renders sweetness as the taste of a pomegranate, warmth of a fire, the beauty of the old carpet.

if colour is my element then the process of composition is the ground for meditation. my work experience as a photographer makes me look for unusual foreshortening when depicting usual things (views out to sea from the garret window, a table with pomegranates) use of back perspective, combination of protuberant and flat forms gives paintings additional depth. iam interested in icon painting but pirosmanishvili and matisse's works show me the way forward."
