My art explores the visible and invisible elements of our natural world. I merge traditional techniques with innovative approaches and creative repurposing of materials. I am captivated by nature’s intelligence—its complex patterns, rhythmic motions, and vibrant energies connecting all life forms. These elements are pivotal in my work, allowing me to delve into the different dimensions of human existence—physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental—and to portray the intricate balance between structure and chaos.

 

My artistic journey is also a personal quest to understand myself and, by extension, the world around me. It reflects my evolution from a childhood in Georgia, shaped by war, displacement, and economic challenges, to my life in the United States as a queer immigrant. My art addresses identity, resilience, admiration for nature, and the universal human condition.

I predominantly use an abstract style, which allows me to express complex ideas and emotions beyond literal representation. I work with various mediums, including painting, sculpture, photography, and video, to create engaging pieces that encourage reflection and dialogue.

Davit Botch •2• shvili (b. 1988), originally from Georgia (Eastern Europe), is a multifaceted artist living in Lincoln, MA. With a Master’s degree in Hospitality Management from Cornell University, Davit has over a decade of professional experience in the US travel industry before embracing his passion for art.
 
Identifying as a queer immigrant, his work is a rich mosaic of his diverse experiences and cultural heritage, influenced by his time living in New York City. Davit’s art explores the complexities of self-discovery, merging traditional techniques with contemporary innovations. Drawing inspiration from nature, mythology, and spirituality, he aspires to create abstract compositions that invite introspection and dialogue, exploring the mysteries of our consciousness.
