Mako Lomadze is a contemporary artist based in Tbilisi, Georgia.
She regularly participates in local and international exhibitions an residencies. Her works are housed in the Museum of Contemporary Art in Cosenza, Tbilisi Fine Arts Museum, and in private collections throughout Georgia, Europe, Canada, and the United States. She skillfully explores the depths of traditional oil painting, finding solace in its expressive power. Her creative process begins with internal reflection, diving into the intricate realms of the subconscious, dreams, and profound philosophical ideas. Her artworks are rich with symbolism, drawing viewers into complex narratives beyond mere aesthetics, prompting thoughtful exploration of various layers of meaning. With an ethereal quality characterized by dreamlike ambiguity and emotional depth, her pieces evoke a poetic sense of melancholy, gracefully capturing the somber essence of life. Often presented in series, her works primarily focus on self-portraiture, serving as visual records of introspection and the profound complexities of solitude. Mako's art reflects the changing role of women in modern society.
Her artistic approach encompasses diverse methods; one involves thorough research to build a visual vocabulary aligned with her themes, while the other centers on introspective examination, translating subconscious insights onto canvas.
