Nina Akhobadze (*1997, Samtredia, Georgia) is a contemporary painter whose work explores the emotional and sensory potential of abstraction. Working primarily with oil on large-format canvases, she approaches painting as an intuitive, physical dialogue between color, texture, and emotion. Through the layering of pigment and gesture, her compositions evoke rhythm, tension, and depth—creating surfaces that seem to breathe and shift with the viewer’s perception.

Rejecting figuration, Akhobadze focuses instead on the material and emotional essence of painting. Her process is guided by spontaneity and introspection, resulting in works that oscillate between control and release. The interplay of texture and color reflects her ongoing investigation into the relationship between the tangible and the psychological, the visible and the felt.

Her recent exhibitions include “Leave it unfinished, it breathes better” (WAF Gallery, 2025), NADA Villa Warsaw (2025), Vienna Contemporary (2024), and Kultur Brauch Kunst at Schlossmuseum Linz (2024). She has also shown at Tbilisi Art Fair (2024) and in the ATINATI Collection exhibition (2023). Akhobadze has participated in residencies such as Ria Keburia (2021) and Art Villa Garikula (2020). Her works are part of private collections in Georgia, Austria, Germany, the UAE, and Russia.
