Visual Art – New York - NYC

Originally born Nino Mtavrelishvili, I prefer to go by Mtvare. I am currently enrolled in Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC as an illustration major. Due to my studies, I know the basics of illustration and daily work on styles that intrigue and challenge me, but do not feel like me. Outside of FIT, I pursue my own personal style that expresses my inner self. I like my creations to be defined, sharp and very detailed, which is why I love working with ink. For a long time I have struggled with sharing my art, because sharing the manifestations of my personality gave me a sense of vulnerability. However, more I look at other people sharing their work, I feel the urge to have my work speak out.
