He had solo exhibitions at the Tbilisi History Museum Karvasla, Tacita Gallery, Nutsubidze Gallery, Caucasus House, Old Gallery (2002), Chardin Gallery (2010), Literature Museum (2016), etc. In 1996, the artist’s exhibition was held “L’Association Couleur Musique Mouvement” exhibition hall in Paris.
