George Shaghashvili's works of art are a testament to his talent in pencil, charcoal, watercolor, acrylic, oil and mixed media. George's art reflects his experiences of encountering different countries, continents and cultures around the world, from Europe to Africa to Asia. His views, his universe find an outlet in classical still life, abstract art, landscapes and portraits, as well as fashion sketches and other forms.

George Shagashvili was born in 1971 in Tbilisi, in the family of a biophysicist engineer. He began to develop comprehensively from childhood, which was later reflected in his works. In 1977-88 George studied at high school № 54 in Tbilisi. In 1988, he entered the 3rd Medical Institute, which he successfully graduated from in 1991. In 1993, George passed examinations to two universities at once: Tbilisi State Medical University to the Faculty of Preventive Medicine and Tbilisi State Agricultural University to the Faculty of Agronomy; both he successfully graduated in 1999-2000.

In 1997 George Shagashvili held his first solo exhibition, where he presented his collages, paintings and graphics to the public. In 1999 George won the International Assembly of Avant-garde Fashion (MAAM) contest for the best avant-garde. At that time, he presented his Metamorphosis collection of 17 costumes. This collection bizarrely combined textiles and plaster. The chairman of the jury was Andrew Logan (London). After "MAAM" in 2000 George took part in the fashion contest "Design 2000" where he again won the title of the best avant-garde designer. It is important to note that in 2003 Shagashvili's Birth collection made it to the finals of the Russian Silhouette fashion contest. Besides fashion shows, George actively participated in various exhibitions of graphics and painting. On his way to the fashion world in 2008, Di - Zainer graduated from the Tbilisi State Academy of Arts and received the highest degree of Bachelor's degree from the Fashion Department. His graduation collection was called "Black Square" and included 17 suits, leather bags and shoes.
