Pastoral Scene. Oil on wood panel. 30 x 50 cm. Sunlit foothills and fields where animals graze, punctuated by a hole-like shadow gliding across the surface. Caves and holes were repeated motifs during my trip to Agstafa, and I use them to represent the lingering social and infrastructural problems found in this otherwise peaceful, pastoral paradise. Most of my pieces are for sale! Email me to arrange a purchase or commission: [email protected]

David Gareja monastery complex David Gareja is a rock-hewn Georgian Orthodox monastery complex located in the Kakheti region of Eastern Georgia, on the half-desert slopes of Mount Gareja, some 60–70 km southeast of Georgia's capital Tbilisi. The complex includes hundreds of cells, churches, chapels, refectories and living quarters hollowed out of the rock face. Part of the complex is located in the Agstafa rayon of Azerbaijan and has become subject to a border dispute between Georgia and Azerbaijan. The area is also home to protected animal species and evidence of some of the oldest human habitations in the region. #religius #religiustourism #travel #georgia #azerbaijan #stateborder #border #travellog #travelling #travels #tours #agstafa #akstafa #mountgareja #davidgareja #monastery #momasterycomplex #orthodox (David Gareja monastery complex)
