​​Davit Botchorishvili is a Georgian-American artist whose work explores themes of self-identity, transformation, and interconnectedness with the environment. Based in Lincoln, Massachusetts, his practice serves as a meditation on the fluid nature of identity, shaped by his experiences as a queer immigrant and the cultural narratives that inform his perspective.

 

Born and raised in war-torn Georgia, Davit immigrated to New York City in 2011, where he initially built a career in the travel industry while nurturing his artistic practice on the side. In 2022, he made a pivotal decision to leave his corporate profession and fully embrace his path as an artist, earning a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design (MassArt) in 2024.

 

Davit’s work is deeply influenced by nature, Byzantine iconography, and Indigenous traditions. These elements are woven into his visual language, resulting in dynamic abstract compositions layered with symbolism and introspection. Through bold vibrational patterns, tension between movement and stillness, and textured depth, his paintings explore the dialogue between the inner self and the shifting external world. His practice invites viewers to reflect on memory, transformation, and belonging within a space of contemplation and resonance.
