Levan Muzashvili, an artist and sculptor. He was born in Tbilisi in 1983. In 1999, he enrolled in the Faculty of Fine Arts at the Tbilisi State Academy of Arts, specializing in Sculpture. His professors were renowned masters: Viktor Chumburidze, Gogi Ochiauri, Levan Tsutskiridze, Rusudan Gachechiladze, and Tamaz Shatirishvili. In 2005, he successfully defended his diploma artwork, “Female Figure,” in Gogi Ochiauri’s studio. Between 2004 and 2006, he created illustrations for the magazine Chveni Mtserloba (“Our Literature”).
Since 2006, Levan Muzashvili has been engaged in pedagogical activities at the Tbilisi State Academy of Arts. Since 2024, he has served as an Associate Professor, Head of the Sculpture Department, and author of the Academy’s undergraduate and graduate sculpture curricula. Alongside his academic career, he has been actively involved in numerous educational, regional, and social projects. Between 2006 and 2012, he participated in art therapy programs for children with special needs. In 2018, he established a creative space dedicated to fine arts education, and since 2025, he has served as a member of the Expert Advisory Council at the Ministry of Culture of Georgia, evaluating proposals and materials for architectural and public art monuments.
Muzashvili maintains an active role as an organizer and curator in the contemporary art scene. Since 2022, he has co-organized a series of major sculpture exhibitions, including “Centenary of the Sculpture Department — Three Generations,” “Contemporary Interpretations of Georgian Sculpture,” “Sculpture in Real and Simulated Spaces,” and “Georgian Sculpture: Visions of the Past and Future.” Since 2024, he has also served as co-organizer of the Sculpture Festival. That same year, he led a student metalworking symposium in Leville, France, where seven metal sculptures created during the project were permanently installed at the historic Georgian Estate in Leville.
Levan Muzashvili’s creative research centers on identifying the foundational pillars of ancient civilizations that have survived to the present day. The artist explores aspects of the language of sculpture that remain unchanged despite the passage of time, conferring a unique character upon the medium. For him, sculpture is a manifestation of two core phenomena: the surviving traces of an archaic, matriarchal worldview, and a profound spiritual consciousness originating in the Hellenistic era that later evolved within the Christian world, which shapes the deepest structural core of sculpture. His work organically synthesizes contemporary philosophical views with archaic form-giving. The sculptor’s works are held in numerous private collections.
