/ TEMURI KHVINGIA
Temuri Khvingia, born in 1978, began his photography journey in the early 1990s. After a hiatus, he rekindled his passion in the early 2000s, transitioning towards photo art. Since 2006, he has worked as a freelance artist, engaging in photojournalism and event photography with various media outlets. In 2009, he expanded into mixed-media art, actively participating in both solo and group exhibitions. As a curator and producer, Temuri has organized numerous amount of exhibitions both in Estonia and internationally since 2013, earning recognition in the contemporary art scene. While photography remains his primary medium, he experiments by combining it with other art disciplines.
In 2013, Temuri co-founded OKAPI Gallery in Tallinn's Old Town, focusing on contemporary photography and glass art. As a co-curator, he oversees the gallery's photo art division, providing a platform for both emerging and established artists. OKAPI's activities include representing artists, organizing exhibitions, participating in fairs, and initiating public projects to enrich the art culture. The gallery's unique approach has garnered active participation and feedback from a wide audience. Temuri's mission is to bring art closer to people, inspire them, and create an open and supportive environment that fosters new artistic approaches and enriches local cultural life.
