Tbilisi. First time we came here for my son’s wedding, now,10 months later it is to see our newly born granddaughter. Very little else is of interest for the first week, in the second week, we take a few hours to walk around and experience the city. A city worth exploring, to be continued next time. For now, just a few initial sketches in B&W, leaving the color for later.
Beautiful street art
Small bakery dwarfed by a huge Brutalist style building
Remnants of Soviet regime
Old wooden balconies in hidden backyards, waiting to be restored “restoration happens before elections, come in 2024 …” to quote our guide
“The way it used to be”, a preserved interior in a restored building
The environmental crisis depicted by many of the street artists
When the world composes itself into a perfect frame …life and art, art and life
Sellers, mostly women, a lot of them wearing black. Life is not all cherries and peaches.
