Niko Pirosmanashvili was born in the village of Mirzaani in Kakheti, Georgia. The child, orphaned early in life starts work as a servant and moves from the village to Tbilisi - the city, to which he will soon become a metaphor. Georgia of the period (turn of the 19th-20th centuries) is unimaginable without Pirosmani and his characters. Despite the fact that Pirosmani did not have a higher academic education, his individuality, sincerity, attitude to the reflection of the subject, knowledge of traditional elements, speak of impeccable professionalism and mastery.
