Mariami Tsotadze Belgian, b. 1999

Mariami is an artist who develops a deeply personal visual language, rooted in her Georgian background but universal in its expressiveness. Her work moves at the intersection of memory, identity and emotional experience. With a layered and often intuitive use of color and texture, she creates worlds in which the everyday and the symbolic are intertwined.

Tsotadze's works exude a sense of slowing down - they invite the viewer to stillness, to look beyond the immediate image. Her compositions seem simple at first glance, but on closer inspection they reveal subtle shifts, references to stories, landscapes or inner states. Her work reveals traces of tangible life, but also of dream and memory - like echoes of something just out of reach.

Although her work is strongly anchored in her own experience and cultural background, Tsotadze speaks a visual language that remains open to interpretation. Each painting is a site of encounter: between maker and viewer, between present and past, between stillness and expression. Through her poetic approach to form and color, she manages to touch on existential themes in a subtle, almost meditative way.

Mariami Tsotadze sees painting and drawing as a process of listening - to material, intuition and memory. At a time when images are often fleeting and lavish, her work offers space for slowness, attention and contemplation.
