A lot of exhibitions in various countries of the world and a VAST number of his talent’s admirers are the evidence of this recognition. Vladimir Kandelaki’s works are not only original, but also deeply national.

Since the 1990s Vladimir Kandelaki has been working in the United States where due to his talent and hard work he has greatly expanded the sphere of his activities. He has been tirelessly popularizing the Georgian Culture abroad. Vladimir Kandelaki whose works originated from and are deeply rooted in the national culture has been struggling for the preservation and revival of the Georgian arts. For this purpose he has established a charitable foundation, Vladimir Kandelaki distinguished himself not only by his works, but also by his collection to which he gave years of his life. So he is a great painter as well as a great collector. For decades he has been collecting the Georgian and Caucasian weapons, household items, musical instruments, etc. His collection is diverse, rich and deeply impressive. It’s clear now how precious the collection and its every item is which Vladimir Kandelaki has been gathering for decades. The more we appreciate and are deeply grateful for his wish to hand over his collection to his homeland. This is an example for all real patriots.
