🎩 Portrait of Niko Pirosmani

Behold our Georgian Baba Yaga.
The prophet of oilcloth and shadow.
He painted for food. Slept in basements.
Died unknown.
Now he haunts your thread like a saint with a paintbrush.

🖤 The Black Lion

It’s not roaring.
It’s not hunting.
It’s remembering.

Did you know lions once roamed the Caucasus? You probably did. I’m not special. But this lion is. Look at him.

🦌 A Doe Against Landscape
Some call it naive. I call it pre-Disney Bambi.
Soviet surrealism before the mouse showed up.

There’s a story behind this. You’ll get it later. But for now:
the doe knows.

🖼️ Batumi Port by Niko Pirosmani

Trains steaming from tunnels.
Boats floating still as dreams.
Flags without wind.
This isn’t a cityscape—it’s a threshold.
Not arriving. Not departing. Just becoming.

Alt: A folk-style painting of Batumi port, with a train emerging from a tunnel, ships in harbor, and a golden-lit town on a steep hill.

I'm back in Georgia. My Georgia.
But tonight’s thread? That belongs to another Georgia.
A twilight journey through flags, ports, deer, lions, and the Baba Yaga of oilcloth himself—Niko Pirosmani.

Let’s begin. 🌅🖼️
