1968年出生于格鲁吉亚第比利斯,同时生活与工作于此。1985年至1990年就读于第比利斯技术大学建筑系。1990年毕业并获得建筑学硕士学位。

科维斯塔泽的作品以动态雕塑和绘画为特色,其中强调了人类以及性别和性的张力。她的作品受到古代神话、希腊哲学传统和超现实主义思想的影响。她的艺术既探讨了现代个体的内在冲突,也探讨了个体与社会的关系。艺术家在她的雕塑作品中非常强调运动的概念,巧妙地将艺术与建筑性融为一体。她欣赏赫拉克利特的哲学,并试图在她的实践中体现动态的概念。


Born in Tbilisi, Georgia in 1968. The artist also lives and works in Tbilisi. From 1985 to 1990 she studied at the Architectural Department of Tbilisi Technical University. In 1990 she graduated with an MA degree in Architecture.

Kvesitadze’s oeuvre features kinetic sculptures and paintings in which the element of the human being and the tension of genders and sexualities are underscored. Her works have been influenced by ancient mythology, the Greek philosophical tradition, and Surrealist ideas. Her art investigates both the internal conflicts of modern individuals and the relationship between individual and society. The artist places great emphasis on the notion of movement in her sculptural output, masterfully blending art and construction. She espouses the philosophy of Heraclitus and attempts to embody dynamism in her practice.
