Author about himself
I work in experimental styles and techniques, that is, I mostly do not recognize orthodoxy in any direction and generally in art, except for taste, culture, and professionalism. I love the East and tranquility. My style is a "Creative Flow."
Critic
...The paintings of Yu. Berishvili are woven from pure color. The surface of the canvas attracts with its aestheticism and charm. A free rhythm is present everywhere. The interweaving of unusual lines and colors is interrupted by conspicuous spots of color... M. Bezhuashvili
