Dager "Tavadi"(Prins)

In 2009, I was in Tbilisi and participated in a group exhibition in the Tbilisi Museum (Carvasla). During my visit to Georgia, my friend introduced me to the Georgian artist and enamel master Irakli Megrelishvili. The visit to Irakli and getting to know his work was so impressive that soon I had the idea to make a traditional form of satevari, decorated only with enamel, in collaboration with him. I shared this idea with Irakli and he agreed without hesitation, we calculated and planned the project and calculated the project budget. The creation of the working sketch took a long time. The initial drafts did not fit into the framework of my idea, but in the end, with joint efforts, we reconciled and "approved" the final sketch.
Irakli worked for 9 months to create this work and an amazingly beautiful thing was created. This item has participated in several exhibitions and has been published in magazines in France and the Netherlands. Thank you very much for your cooperation Irakli.
