Initially I got interested in art when I listened to my mother’s sweet songs and gentle voice. It was awesome for me and my brother.

After a while I noticed my strong inclination towards art. I was always keen on colors and graphic shapes. My family, friends and my own city are main themes of all my paintings. Similar to diverse nature of Georgia, my palette is a mixture of sharp colors. I love Life and I think it is depicted in my paintings too.

Impressions

"Gocha Chkhaidze a romantic painter, whose arts is a refrain of slightly naïve and romantic intonation. The brush of gifted painter turns ideas into poetic faces. Artistic intuition and fantasy... plays a definite role in his works."

"Artysta stosuje uproszczone kontury i wyraziste, radosne barwy, które wprowadzają do jego prac element bajkowości, czy też baśniowości."

"In essence, Chkaidze is painting a fairy tale world, where it would be nice to spend time. "

"In starken Farben und klaren Strukturen erlebt der Betrachter georgische Tradition und Lebensart. Auf dem Ölbild "Lebenszug" wird gefeiert. Und doch vermittelt es eine tiefe Ruhe. Windschiefe, uralte Häuser geben Einblick in die Baugeschichte einer Region, die seit mehr als 200 Jahren mit Deutschland verbunden ist."
