I studied and graduated from the Architecture Department of Tbilisi State Academy of Fine Arts and graduated from the “Professional" College Textile Design (Tbilisi, Georgia). I finished my doctoral degree in 2016 at Tbilisi State Technical University (Georgia). My researches areas are eco-life, eco-art, and landscape architecture. During one of my research, I discovered that wool felt is an eco-material. This makes it a very important material for use in art and fashion. Over the last 7 years I’ve been working in textile design and its unlimited technology. Through this work, the artist becomes a sculptor-architect: from wool, the artist can make 3D art works. The most important aspect is using Georgian traditional technology. My inspiration often comes from being close to nature, music. What I remember most throughout my life is that there was Art. Since childhood I was inspired by my family members, who are architects and artists. IG: @analagidze
