To draw and suddenly, in adulthood. First picked up a brush, on the threshold of its 50th anniversary. Waking up in Rusudan once - a passion for painting took her forever.
Rusudan says only that it excites and delights. Born of a rich imagination of the artist, her childlike works reflect the movements of the soul, of imagination, like a fairy tale. She has created several series of – "Old town", "Animals and birds", "Trees and landscapes", "Church", "migration", "Portraits and masks".
A lot of paintings dedicated to the artist's native Tbilisi. She managed to take a new look at your city, send his soul. Each house for the artist – a living creature. The cycle of architectural landscapes of old Tbilisi, a maze of balconies, verandas, roofs resemble colorful decorative rugs, tapestries. Many art lovers feel the special flavor of these works. One of the publications about the creative work Rusudan Andronikashvili was entitled: "From the rooftops Rusudan went the roof, all known collectors."
Frequently, the subject of the image are trees, a symbol of creation, of life. And sometimes becomes bizarre fusion: in the urban landscape as if wedged trees in bright sunlight, creating a special emotional atmosphere.
It draws attention to the variety of means used by the author. Along with traditional techniques – tempera, acrylic, oil, Rusudan Andronikashvili can work and quite unexpected way.

The artist is very sensitive to the hypocrisy, insincerity, she says only that creates a good mood and evokes positive emotions. "Problems of life abound. I don't want to force people to negative thoughts, feelings... we Need to enjoy life!", she said. The work of the artist, indeed, generously give the audience a sense of beauty, peace and feeling of joy of life.
The beauty and sincerity of the work, spontaneity – the distinctive features of the artist's work. Like music, it spontaneously-associative creativity expresses emotions, moods, konkretisierung and fix the song title. The images transmitted by the artist, reverent and sincere, a bit naive, but never left indifferent spectators and admirers of her talent.

"Transformed images of reality - not only the characters, reflections of what exists in the inner world, the soul, is not drawn up in material form. This way is followed by the symbolists, and therefore, not coincidentally, some of the paintings of Rusudan remind Corleones, Bocklin, but at the same time and expressionists.... The same way of trying to keep many of our contemporaries, but not all have the strength, confidence and energy that is inherent in Rusudan".
