Zura as he prefers being called, created the illustrations for Rudyard Kipling's "How the Whale Got his Throat" which received critical acclaim not only in Georgia but worldwide.

"It took some time for me to find my own unique style in art. I was inspired by Modigliani, Picasso and David Urushadze but I wanted and worked diligently to be not only original, but recognizable".

Gallery of Music and Art, LV is pleased to exclusively represent Zura for his paintings and multiples in the United States.
