Zura Bushurishvili is a world-renowned artist for his exceptional sculptures and paintings. His artwork adorns numerous public spaces across NYC, Atlanta - Georgia, and Connecticut, and has found a place of distinction in the private collection of Victor Niederhoffer, an American hedge fund manager.

At the core of Zura's artistic expression lies a profound focus on the human body form, often embellished with animal heads, cleverly illustrating the animalistic aspect of human nature. In the spring of 2022, he mesmerized art enthusiasts during an art show held in Williamsburg, where he unveiled captivating pieces. 

Originally from the Republic of Georgia, Zura spent 14 years honing his artistic skills before pursuing formal studies at the State Academy of Fine Art. Presently, he calls Brooklyn his second home, where his creative journey continues to flourish within the confines of his Williamsburg studio. Not only does he passionately create masterful sculptures and paintings, but he also imparts his profound knowledge through sculpting classes.

Through it all, Zura remains dedicated to his craft, with an unwavering commitment to "the sake of beauty, love, and harmony."
