About Artist

Luka Khabelashvili

''Luka Khabelashvili (b.1999) a self-taught photographer from Gori, Georgia. Luka is not just a photographer; he's a visual storyteller, a maestro of manipulation, and a connoisseur of creativity. Embracing the digital realm with gusto, Luka fearlessly wields tools like Photoshop, bending reality to his will and crafting images that blur the lines between the tangible and the surreal''. ''His journey into the realm of photography began during a summer holidays to Turkey with his family. Gifted with a camera by his mother to capture the essence of their holiday, Luka found himself entranced by the art of freezing moments in time. Yet, it was the scorching days that kept him indoors, providing him ample opportunity to experiment with his newfound passion. Within the confines of his temporary sanctuary, Luka's imagination took flight, capturing the mundane and transforming it into the extraordinary. It was during this transformative period that he first encountered the concept of 'Derealization'—the notion of distorting reality to reveal hidden truths and untapped potential. Since that fateful trip, Luka's obsession with photography has only deepened. Armed with his camera and an insatiable curiosity, he roams the world, seeking out the unusual, the unconventional, and the awe-inspiring. Unbound by the constraints of any specific style or genre, he embraces the eclectic, finding beauty in the mundane and magic in the mundane. Through his lens, Luka invites viewers to question the nature of reality, to challenge their perceptions, and to explore the infinite possibilities that lie beyond the confines of the ordinary. With each click of the shutter, he invites us to step into a world where the boundaries between fantasy and reality are blurred, and where the impossible becomes possible. In the hands of Luka Khabelashvili, photography transcends mere documentation—it becomes a portal to another dimension, a glimpse into the surreal tapestry of existence''.
