​​Davit Botchorishvili is a Georgian-American artist whose practice explores self-knowledge, transformation, and the interconnectedness between inner and outer worlds. His work serves as a meditation on the fluid nature of identity, shaped by his lived experience as a queer immigrant and the cultural narratives that continue to inform his perspective.

 

Born and raised in war-torn Georgia, Davit immigrated to New York City in 2011, where he spent over a decade working full time in the travel industry while cultivating his artistic voice. In 2022, he made a transformative shift, leaving corporate life to embrace his path in art fully. He earned his Master of Fine Arts from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design (MassArt) in 2024.

 

Influenced by the natural world, Byzantine iconography, and Indigenous traditions, Davit weaves these inspirations into a symbolic and intuitive language. His abstract compositions—rich in vibration, rhythm, and texture—explore the tensions between opposing forces such as stillness and motion, light and darkness, presence and absence. Through this interplay, his work becomes a contemplative space for reflecting on identity, memory, and belonging in an ever-changing world.
