What is the best thing that I love about my work? Honestly, it’s the way people respond. Not just with compliments, but with something raw and emotional. I once met a man in his fifties who cried in front of my work — he said it brought up feelings he hadn’t touched in years about someone he lost. That moment stayed with me. And it’s not rare — people from all over the world write to me, telling me how my work reflects something they’ve felt but never had the words or courage to express. That kind of resonance… it reminds me that what I create has real weight. It’s not just decoration — it reaches into people’s lives and changes the way they see themselves. And as an artist, I don’t think there’s anything more valuable than that.

What is my idea of happiness? As an artist, here’s something I’ve learned the hard way: there’s no real art without a real life. My idea of happiness isn’t tied to career milestones or success metrics — it’s rooted in the quality of my everyday life and the people I share it with. Lately, the most meaningful moments for me are the simplest ones: sitting down with my family or friends, trying something new to eat, laughing over random stories, or having deep, messy conversations about life. That’s it. That’s the good stuff. I used to think fulfillment would come from hitting certain career goals, but now I know — happiness is built from ordinary beauty. It’s not about escaping life through art… it’s about being so alive that the art can’t help but follow.

What is my greatest fear? Strangely enough, my biggest fear has never been failure. It’s success. Real, undeniable success. The kind that pulls you out of your comfort zone and forces you to evolve. That fear has stayed with me longer than I’d like to admit — not because I don’t want to grow, but because a part of me still clings to the familiar version of myself. And honestly, it hurts. Procrastination isn’t laziness for me — it’s resistance. It’s a fear of becoming someone I’ve never been before. And that’s a fear I’m learning to face head-on.

What is the trait that I most deplore in myself? I’m working on being as kind to myself as I am bold in front of others. I can come across as confident — and I am — but sometimes, I show more belief outwardly than I actually feel inside. There’s a gap between how much I project and how much I truly embody. I don’t hate that about myself — I just want to close that gap. I want my self-belief to be real, not just rehearsed. That’s the work.

Which living persons in my profession do i most admire? When I was completely stuck — like, at rock bottom, not knowing how to move forward or make even one sale — I reached out to artists I admired. I had nothing to lose, so I asked for help, directly. Some ignored me, of course. But a few responded with so much honesty and generosity, it changed everything. Luke Hannam, who even painted my portrait, and Edward Povey, whose advice gave me an actual plan when I had none — I owe them both so much. And then there are people like Dennis, Cristian, and Sarah — not artists themselves, but believers in artists — who stood by me and helped me take my first real steps when nobody else knew my name.

These are the people I admire most. Not because they’re famous or celebrated, but because they saw something in me and gave without expecting anything in return. That kind of support? It’s rare, and unforgettable.

What is the thing that I dislike the most in my work? The art itself? I love it. I’m proud of it. There’s nothing I’d trade for the raw, beautiful chaos of creating something real. What I don’t love is everything that has to come with it — editing videos, managing social media, taking perfect photos, sending emails, being in “marketing mode.” That’s the part I wrestle with. But I do it — not because I enjoy it, but because I believe my work deserves to be seen. And if that means being both the artist and the machine behind the scenes, I’ll do it. Reluctantly, but relentlessly.

When and where was I the happiest, in my work? The moment that comes to mind is when I created my first personalized artwork — a gift commissioned for someone’s loved one. It was the first time my work was invited into such a private, emotional space between two people, and I took that responsibility seriously. I poured myself into it. That piece still stands as one of my favorites — not just technically, but because of the emotional weight it carried. It was my first real taste of what it means to make art that matters on a deeply personal level. I felt proud, trusted, and completely in love with the process.

If I could, what would I change about myself? If I could change anything, I’d worry less and trust more. I have a strong mind, a bold voice, and a good heart — but sometimes, I let doubt in the room. I know too much about what could go wrong, and not enough about how things can go beautifully right. So if I could flip a switch, I’d choose ease. I’d choose to believe that my life can unfold without me having to fight it every step of the way.

What is my greatest achievement in work? Sure, I’ve won awards since childhood — but for me, those things aren’t the real prize. My greatest achievement is the community I’ve built. A group of people who don’t just like my art, but truly understand it — who see themselves in it, who feel seen by it. I have real conversations with them, deep exchanges. It’s rare, and it’s powerful. Finding the right people — the ones who resonate with the truth in your work — that’s the kind of success no award can replace.

Where would I most like to live? Somewhere where silence isn’t empty. I’d love to live in a place that feels both private and full of possibility. A place where I can be wild and soft at the same time. I very much prefer smaller cities. Preferably near Tbilisi. maybe in the hills — but definitely where the air is honest and the people don’t need to pretend. Somewhere I can create, be seen, and disappear all in the same day.

What is my most treasured possession? I don’t think I have one material possession that holds that title. My most treasured things are the people I love — my friends, my family. Everything else is replaceable. They’re not.

What is my most marked characteristic? Intensity. I am too intense in everything. I feel things deeply, I see things that most people overlook, and I refuse to flatten myself just to make others comfortable. Whether I’m speaking, creating, or even just observing — there’s a fire under everything I do. Some people are drawn to it. Some are scared of it. But no one forgets it.

What is my most inspirational location, in my city? To be completely honest, I don’t feel deeply inspired by the city I live in. I’m in Tbilisi, and lately, it’s started to feel gray — like I’ve outgrown it. But if I had to name a place that sparks something in me… it’s not a physical space. It’s the feeling of being in the arms of someone I love. That’s where my mind opens up, where my imagination softens, where I start to dream again. That’s the real sanctuary.

What is my favorite place to eat and drink, in my city? Some places feel sacred not because of the food or drinks, but because of who you were with—and how you felt with them. I cherish certain places not for their menus, but for the memories tied to the people beside me. That’s why I can’t recommend any specific place just for food and drinks.

What books influenced my life and how? When I was 15, I read a short novel about a gymnast who becomes friends with a spiritual teacher he calls Socrates —”The Journeys of Socrates, Way of the Peaceful Warrior ” by Dan Millman. it was such a different lens to see life through at that age, and it left a mark. At 19, I read the Bible cover to cover — and to be honest, it made me strongly reject religion. I don’t think any book has transformed my life completely, but I do find reading deeply
pleasurable.

Lately, I lean toward practical books, especially around business. “The Psychology of Selling” is one I’d recommend — it’s clear, direct, and actually helpful if you’re learning how to sell something meaningful.

You Only Die Once. What music would I listen on my last day? Silence. I’ve always preferred quiet. There’s something sacred in stillness that no song can reach. There’s even a piece of music that’s just silence — and I think that would be fitting. I’d want to leave in peace, not noise.

Who is my hero or heroine in fiction? Honestly? Probably Jesus — even though I’m not religious. I haven’t looked up to fictional characters in a long time. That stopped around age 16. Since then, I’ve found more inspiration in real people.

Who are my heroes and heroines in real life? Myron Golden and Giorgi Gogeshvili. These are people who are masters of their craft — the kind who can listen to you for five minutes, pinpoint exactly where you’re stuck, and say one sentence that completely changes your direction. That kind of clarity is rare. People like that — who change lives without even needing the spotlight — they’re my kind of heroes.

Which movie would i recommend to see once in a lifetime? I’m a huge gatekeeper when it comes to movies — I take them seriously. There was a year in my life when I watched over 1,000 films. My favorite period is surrealist and avant-garde: The Holy Mountain, The Color of Pomegranates, Persona, Daisies… Enter the Void is also the one I love but it is from different period. to conclude I love films that dissolve the boundary between reality and fantasy — that transport you completely into a new world with its own logic. That’s why I watch movies in the first place: to escape the rules of this one

What role play stories in my life and work? For a long time, I was scared to tell my own story. I felt ashamed of parts of it, because of how difficult it was and how much mark even the small things left on me. I didn’t know how to share it with an audience. Sharing things and feel good about myself not ashamed and cringe is still a thing I am working on. But once I understood that story is how people connect with you — how they understand your work and your purpose — everything changed. Storytelling became a bridge, not a burden.

What do the words ‘You are the storyteller of your own life’ to me? To me, it means: if you don’t like your story, change it. Change the way you live, the actions you take. You don’t have to stay stuck in a narrative you didn’t write. You can write a better one.

Who is my greatest fan, sponsor, partner in crime? I won’t name names for privacy reasons, but first and foremost, my sister and parents have always supported me — emotionally and financially — and I’m deeply grateful for that. My entire family believes in my talent encourages me to do even more. I’m also supported by people on my Buy Me a Coffee page — people who believe in me so much that even when I offer those benefits or discounts, they refuse and pay full price just to support my career. That kind of belief is priceless.

Which people or companies would I like to work with? Hermès and Rolls-Royce — because they still respect real skill and artistic depth. Additionally I would love to sculpt a bottle for a luxury perfume brand – I’ve been dreaming about that for a long time. I want to work on a silk scarf design with my art. And I also would love to work on tarot deck design.

What project am I looking forward to work on? I’m currently developing a series of sculptural reliefs — emotionally charged, deeply rooted in culture, and designed to connect people to their heritage and themselves. I’ve been sketching and planning this for a while. It’s going to be powerful.

What do the words “Passion Never Retires” mean to me? I don’t agree with that phrase. Real talent doesn’t last forever. Whether you’re a singer, dancer, coder, sculptor, or writer — the gift is temporary. If you overuse it, misuse it, or ignore it, it fades. Health and mental challenges come. Time passes. Passion does retire — and talent disappears if you don’t use it when you have it. That’s why I create now, not later.

Which creative heroines should Peter invite to tell their story? Rebecca Leveille Guay that is incredible artist. Ninea Anasovi that is electrical engineer who worked on so many things you absolutely need to know about her. Sopio Kolkhidashvili who is founder of a gallery in Tbilisi. Nino Gotsiridze is an amazing architect. Sali Shubitidze who is DJ, vocalist, also song writer and producer. Fernanda Dias who is animating incredible original work that maybe whole world is waiting for to see “witch Bunny”
