From  a young age Sopiko loved to paint, influenced by her father’s work as a  ceramist and growing up in a neighborhood artist community in the  Republic of Georgia. After spending years dancing for the Georgian  National Ballet she then decided to study textile design. She always  preferred to paint by hand, whether it be on fabric, walls, or a  painter’s canvas. Taking inspiration from nature and abstract shapes,  she creates brilliant murals and hand-drawn illustrations for  wallpapers.

​

Sopiko  also learned cloisonné at the age of fifteen after begging a local  artisan to teach her, despite them initially refusing multiple times as  they thought it was too dangerous for a girl to work with searing hot  tools near a kiln. She was determined, and went on to hone her  techniques ​through  many years in which she perfected her intricate jewelry designs. Now  she resides in New York and seeks to adapt this ancient technique to  create innovative cloisonné designs for interiors. When it comes to  decorative painting and faux finishes her talents range from strié and  murals of all types to marbleizing and faux bois, where she imitates  wood varieties such as the rare birdseye maple. Sopiko brings her  dedication to excellence and her passion to elevate every project.
