Lisi Lake (2015) Original Oil Painting by Zurab Sharvadze

Painted in November 2015, this work captures a quiet corner of Lisi Lake on the outskirts of Tbilisi—a place deeply woven into the everyday life of the city. The lake is a beloved retreat where people come to slow down: walking with children or dogs, drifting on the water, or gathering for simple outdoor meals.

This particular scene is rooted in a memory of an unexpectedly warm, sunlit Sunday late in autumn. A spontaneous barbecue with friends unfolded beneath the pine trees, the air filled with soft light, conversation, and the calm rhythm of the lake. The warmth of that day lingers in the painting—expressed through broken brushwork, shifting light, and the gentle movement of trees against the water.

Rather than a precise depiction, the piece is an impression of atmosphere and feeling: the quiet joy of unplanned moments, the softness of late autumn light, and the comfort of being surrounded by nature and close company. It carries a sense of stillness and nostalgia, inviting the viewer into a fleeting but deeply human experience.
