Mural "Vazha Phavela", by David Samkharadze (NIKO Street Art)

This impressive mural on the side of the building, created by artist David Samkharadze, is dedicated to the famous Georgian writer and poet Vazha-Pshavela. His figure is depicted in traditional clothes, with a shepherd's crook in his hand, symbolizing the connection with nature and Georgian culture. Vazhi-Pshavela's face expresses wisdom and fortitude, reflecting his role as a protector and singer of Georgian traditions.

Elements of nature can be seen in the background - a sleeping fawn and a flying bird, which emphasize harmony between man and wild nature, so characteristic of the poet’s work. Branches and grass create a smooth transition from his figure to the surrounding world, symbolizing the unity of man with the natural environment. A flying white stork and a round disk reminiscent of the sun or moon add lightness and sublimity to this composition.

This mural reflects Vazhi-Pshavela’s love for his native land and his deep philosophical reflections on life , nature and people.
