About this series

One day I went to the semi-desert of Gareja in eastern Georgia. My goal was to see Colored or Rainbow Hills. These are amazing landscapes of mountain ranges that go beyond the horizon.

My path goes through Kakheti, consisting of endless plantations of grapes and livestock meadows.

I constantly took photographs, creating a series of them to show my wife upon arrival.

But my wife didn't want to see my photographs when I got home. Because she was also going to see the Rainbow Hills in the Gareja semi-desert. But she was still interested to see what exactly I shot.

Therefore, I decided to create a collection that shows not what I saw, but what I felt, what mood I had.

And I'm glad that it happened, because this collection influenced my further creativity.

Long time I lived in my native town Polatsk, Belarus. The thirst for travel appeared in me when I moved to St. Petersburg where I began to photograph. I moved to Minsk, Belarus to do commercial and reportage photography. I was forced to leave my country because of my political belief and activity. I moved to Tbilisi, Georgia in 2022 and tried not to miss the opportunity to visit new places, as well as take good pictures. I often photograph for global & personal brands, photo stocks, and touristic websites.

My photos used: Geo, Lonely Planet, National Geographic, Unicef, Kia Motors, Hyundai, Skoda, Alutech, Chint, Coca-Cola, etc.
