About Me

Well, I am Georgian but was born in Kursk, small town in Russia, with a big market in the very center, raised in Moscow with beautiful memories hidden in its corners.
Now I’m still experiencing my first quarter of life, and it’s been a lot to do: playing chess for years, studying theory and history of art, launching several projects started with a beautiful ideas - not only art, but books and publishing, food as a cook, even Uber as a person who was supposed to establish the customer caring politics in Moscow. And all this led me to Georgia, where I almost hadn’t been to until moved 3 years ago knowing one person and 10 words — now I’m confident it’s my homeland there.

Music, Movies, and Books

Just a pick from hundreds of films I've already watched and loved —
"Fitzcarraldo", written and directed by Werner Herzog (actually, not only this film)

Pink Floyd, Tinariwen, Hozier, James Blake, Khruangbin, Florence&the Machine, Tash Sultana, Tom Waits, Algiers and tons of other music, including rare recordings, traditional and ethnic, pop and electronic ambient, downtempo and, sure, rap!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I played roles in the numerous lives — and I still don’t realise which story defines me the best.

Teach, Learn, Share

Once I read that “ the vision is the lamp of the body. Whatever our body contains and carries, keep your eyes clear, so your body will be lightened inside out. If the light inside you is a dark then what is darkness itself and are you awake?”

What I Can Share with Hosts

Laughing at least ! It warms the soul and lightens the heart!
