Each painting takes at least one month to complete.

The canvas is prepped into a grid – each square has layers of paint applied. Using a paintbrush and a palette knife, Lagidze works into the layers to reveal multiple colours beneath until he is satisfied.

At the end of the process, he applies several layers of gloss to bring depth and life to the colours.

It is difficult to believe that the interim stage of the artwork belongs to its final version as Lagidze creates magic with the underlying paint layers.
