In 1980-90, she was a teacher and professor of academic painting at the Stroganov University of Art and Industry (Moscow).
Nino Lordkipanidze’s painting is characterized by a new perception of compostition, with a violation of real geometric forms she creates new irreal perspectives, mirrored unusual spaces. Visibility of brushstrokes in some works and the striving for abstraction distinguish her art from other artists of the surrealism and give her a clear individualism. Landscape, still life, compositions prevail in her works, in which the author moves away from the perception of material form and conveys the individual vision of the inner world and irrational mood.
Nino Lordkipanidze had many personal or group exhibitions in different parts of the world; Georgia, Russia, Finland, Belgium, Poland, London, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Austria, Turkey; Personal exhibition in Zurich (Artefiz Gallery, 2002). His works are exhibited in galleries and museums of Georgia (Sh. Amiranashvili State Museum of Art, Art Palace – Museum of Cultural History) and in private collections of different countries.
