BIO
Nina Akhobadze (n. 1997, Samtredia, Georgia) es una pintora contemporánea residente en Viena, Austria. Se licenció en Pintura y Artes Gráficas en la Academia Estatal de Artes de Tiflis (2015-2019), donde estudió con Oleg Timchenko. Akhobadze continúa su trayectoria académica en la Universidad de Arte y Diseño de Linz, con Anne Speier.
Las obras de Akhobadze se han exhibido en prestigiosas exposiciones internacionales, como Vienna Contemporary (2024) y Schlossmuseum Linz (2024), además de participar en la Feria de Arte de Tiflis (2024). Su proceso artístico se basa en un enfoque íntimo e intuitivo donde el color y la textura interactúan dinámicamente y en constante evolución. Trabajando principalmente con óleos, crea lienzos de gran formato que reflejan su interacción física y emocional con los materiales. Esto da como resultado obras ricas en textura, con una profunda complejidad y centradas en la experiencia sensorial del espectador, más que en la representación figurativa.
¿Qué inspira a NINA?
Las obras de Nina evitan intencionalmente los elementos figurativos, permitiendo que la interacción de color y textura sea el centro de atención. Las texturas son fluidas y dramáticas, reflejando su enfoque exploratorio y libre del medio. Esta interacción entre forma y material es fundamental en su obra, evocando profundidad y ritual, a la vez que conecta con las emociones íntimas y personales derivadas de las experiencias cotidianas. Cada pintura, por lo tanto, se convierte en una experiencia única y multifacética para el espectador, involucrándolo en un diálogo íntimo con el proceso artístico y las emociones que se transmiten en la obra.
OBRAS DE ARTE
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.
