“Bembi” by Salome Rigvava is a tender yet unsettling serigraphy that revisits childhood innocence through a surreal and symbolic lens. Created using the traditional silkscreen method, each of the 10 hand-pulled prints layers imagery with emotional complexity, resulting in a work that is both nostalgic and quietly provocative.

Salome Rigvava (b. 1991, Tbilisi) is a Georgian contemporary artist whose practice often centers on identity, myth, and emotional duality. Known for her minimalistic yet potent compositions, she frequently reimagines familiar figures to reveal deeper psychological truths. In Bembi, Rigvava juxtaposes vulnerability with a subtle undercurrent of tension—inviting viewers to reconsider the fragility of innocence in a fractured world.
