BIO
Nina Akhobadze (n. 1997, Samtredia, Geòrgia) és una pintora contemporània resident a Viena, Àustria. Es va llicenciar en Pintura i Arts Gràfiques a l'Acadèmia Estatal d'Arts de Tbilissi (2015-2019), on va estudiar amb Oleg Timchenko. Akhobadze continua la seva trajectòria acadèmica a la Universitat d'Art i Disseny de Linz, amb Anne Speier.
Les obres d'Akhobadze s'han exhibit en prestigioses exposicions internacionals, com ara Vienna Contemporary (2024) i Schlossmuseum Linz (2024), a més de participar a la Fira d'Art de Tbilissi (2024). El seu procés artístic es basa en un enfocament íntim i intuïtiu on el color i la textura interactuen dinàmicament i en evolució constant. Treballant principalment amb olis, crea llenços de gran format que reflecteixen la seva interacció física i emocional amb els materials. Això dóna com a resultat obres riques en textura, amb una complexitat profunda i centrades en l'experiència sensorial de l'espectador, més que no pas en la representació figurativa.
Què inspira NINA?
Les obres de Nina eviten intencionalment els elements figuratius, permetent que la interacció de color i de textura sigui el centre d'atenció. Les textures són fluides i dramàtiques, reflectint el seu enfocament exploratori i lliure del medi. Aquesta interacció entre forma i material és fonamental a la seva obra, evocant profunditat i ritual, alhora que connecta amb les emocions íntimes i personals derivades de les experiències quotidianes. Cada pintura, per tant, es converteix en una experiència única i multifacètica per a lespectador, involucrant-lo en un diàleg íntim amb el procés artístic i les emocions que es transmeten en lobra.
OBRES D'ART
This painting develops a fluid composition, shifting from the left, where dense layers and more classical tones dominate, toward the right, where lighter and more vibrant colors emerge. The dialogue between thicker painted forms and translucent passages builds momentum, giving organic life to abstraction.
Nina Akhobadze trained under Oleg Timchenko at the Tbilisi State Academy of Arts, a painter whose discipline and holistic approach to art emphasized process and integrity over style. Nina’s abstraction is a quiet rejection born in post-Soviet Georgia — a response to Timchenko’s tutelage that still carries his way of perceiving art. Her practice doesn’t perform sophistication for the market; it exists as a means to preserve dignity and coherence in the face of instability. In her work, painting remains a necessity rather than decoration or lifestyle. In this way, Nina differentiates herself from many of her European peers.

One-of-a-Kind Artwork with an Authenticity Certificate
Untitled 04 belongs to the exhibition Among Us at Matiz Gallery. The composition moves through a predominantly brown palette that gradually transitions into vibrant reds. Within this field, organic abstract forms press against one another, each defined by its own tonal depth. The figures are marked by raw, almost primal textures, which emphasize both the individuality of each shape and the tension of their contact. The result is a painting where color and surface create a physical sense of pressure, revealing abstraction as a site of encounter and negotiation.

One-of-a-Kind Artwork with an Authenticity Certificate
This canvas reveals Nina Akhobadze’s interest in vertical tension and atmospheric transformation. Instead of building stable forms, she lets colors drift upward — smoky greys, vaporous whites, and muted blues rising into a field marked by a burst of red. The composition feels less like a fixed image than a scene in motion.

One-of-a-Kind Artwork with an Authenticity Certificate
This canvas shows Nina Akhobadze working through the tension of proximity. Large colored forms press against one another without ever settling into clarity: only the green field appears clean, while the surrounding reds, browns, blues, and oranges are layered and restless. Texture carries a double weight here — it both deepens the surface and directs the viewer’s eye, creating a sense of movement across the forms. The result is an abstract composition that feels compressed yet dynamic, as if the shapes are negotiating their space on the canvas.
