My name is Anna Bakradze. I am an illustrator and graphic designer born in Tbilisi, Georgia. I studied Illustration at the Tbilisi State Academy of Arts. After graduating, I worked as a freelance graphic designer and illustrator. Later, I founded AEMBI Publishing. The company focuses on producing beautifully illustrated paper products, such as greeting cards, notebooks, calendars, and journals. These products, known for their artistic quality and attention to detail, are distributed in bookstores and art shops across Georgia.

​

Last year, I embarked on a new creative journey by initiating a documentary film series titled "Behind the Art." This project highlights Georgian illustrators, giving a close look at their creative journeys. The series aims to uncover the true essence of being an artist, showcasing the different ways one can grow and develop in the artistic field. Additionally, it serves to promote and celebrate the vibrant art community in Georgia, fostering greater appreciation and understanding of the artistic journey.

In addition to my work in illustration and film, I also write a blog about art on my website. My aim is to collect and present comprehensive information for artists in an easy-to-understand format, complete with pictures and maps. The blog covers a wide range of topics, including history and religion, to provide a richer context for artistic practice.
