Sergo Tbileli, a New Age Master. Renowned artists known for his vivid multi-layered art. Sergo’s distinct style is a complex, labor-intensive process that involves creating artworks composed of a thousand layers. Each layer is a testament to the passage of time, each adding texture, depth, and character to his pieces.

The most simplistic things may sometimes be best articulated through intricate textures, shapes, and methods. Sergo Tbileli encapsulates this sentiment perfectly in his works, portraying the concept of intricate simplicity, his artworks lines and colors flow into one another and rigorous amount of detail create a story as no one else.

Each of his pieces represents a universe of its own.
Sergos’s artistic practice is influenced by his time at the Tbilisi State Academy of Fine Art , where he received his BA and as well his work around the eastern europe during the early 70s and 80s, where he worked in different mediums and formats such as ceramics, glass and mosaics on monumental scale. His first solo series exudes Romanticism, highlighting Georgia’s landscapes and mountainous terrain, offering a glimpse into a world reminiscent of the emotive quality found in Caspar David Friedrich’s works, a defining force of the Romantic era.
During this era he had his first solo exhibition in the Istanbul, Turkey which sold out on the first day. Over time, his style evolved, maturing into a rich and complex composition. Changing the rhythm and the rhyme, introducing and balancing more complex subjects into details of his works and overtures to his favorite books and stories.
Each of Sergo’s artworks is a universe in itself, charged with a powerful, positive energy. This energy emanates from the art piece, reaching out to touch the viewer’s soul. It’s a transformative experience that awakens a sense of wonder and hope, fighting against the tide of negativity that the world often imparts. It is a journey that beckons viewers to delve deeper, to look beyond the surface, to unravel the mysteries hidden within each layer. As such, a single viewing can never do justice to his works – it’s a narrative that unfolds over time, revealing something new with every encounter.
