Mako Lomadze (b. 1991) is a Georgian contemporary painter whose work engages deeply with themes of memory, trauma, and emotional transformation. Her abstract yet intuitively structured compositions explore the fragile intersections between the personal and the collective, often drawing on autobiographical experiences and broader psychological narratives.

Her recent solo exhibition, “Point Nemo,” reimagines the most remote location on Earth as a conceptual space for emotional solitude and inner healing. Through a visual language shaped by layered forms, subtle textures, and restrained color palettes, the exhibition reflected on isolation not as emptiness, but as potential—a metaphor for introspection, recovery, and resilience.

Mako’s practice bridges geometric structure and organic rhythm, allowing her work to resonate on both emotional and spatial levels. Her paintings often appear as visual meditations—evocative, precise, and deeply human.

She is also the first Georgian woman artist to be exhibited at the CICA Museum in South Korea, marking an important milestone in her international career.

Her works are held in private collections across Germany, USA, Belgium, Italy, and Israel, and she continues to be recognized for her ability to articulate complex psychological and emotional states through abstraction.

With a growing international presence, Mako Lomadze is an artist whose practice invites viewers to enter intimate inner landscapes and consider the layered nature of personal experience and collective memory.
