,,Tina Tskhadadze-Ratiani, a mangaka (manga artist), creates a free interpretation of manga style. All of Vazha Pshavela's main characters are equally interesting and have a complex inner nature. The artist attempted tried to create an atmosphere that reflected the style and character of the period through the overall artistic integrity of the drawings and their detailing. This is a kind of synthesis of manga style and book illustration,'' said Curator Alexandra Gabunia.
