Water Mirrors
Former Presidential Palace of Georgia (Avlabari Residence), Tbilisi 2008–2009 “The History of Georgia from Mythology to the Present Day” 89,6 m² · Smalti mosaic
Created for the former Presidential Palace of Georgia, Water Mirrors is a monumental mosaic composition dedicated to the historical memory and cultural identity of Georgia.
The project consists of two large mosaic panels conceived as symbolic mirrors reflecting the country’s journey from mythological origins to the present day. Rather than presenting history as a chronological narrative, the composition explores memory as a continuous flow in which legends, historical events, cultural symbols and personal recollections coexist and merge into a single visual stream.
Water serves as the central metaphor of the project. Like time itself, it connects distant moments, dissolves boundaries and transforms individual fragments into a larger whole. Colours, forms and symbolic figures flow into one another, creating a layered visual narrative open to multiple readings.
The project was realised in collaboration with Travisanutto Mosaici (Italy).

33 m² · Smalti, gold smalti
Batumi Piazza
106 m² · Marble, ceramic composite
A unique feature of the piazza square is a central mosaic of 106 sq m, which is considered the largest figurative marble mosaic in Europe.
The mosaic was created in 2010, according to de Pita Amirejibi’s original sketches at the Fantini Mosaici workshop in Abu Dhabi. Upon its completion the mosaics were transferred to Batumi and then assembled piece by piece under Natalia de Pita Amirejibi’s personal supervision in August 2010.
The concept of the whole mosaic is a harmony between sea elements and an unceasing modern urban expanse. The mosaic composition consists of eight circles laid one in the other, which reminds us of whirlpools on a sea surface. Each circle is decorated with ornamental and figurative elements, wherein the central circle is a figurative composition of five female figures. These clothed in red, light blue, purple, pink and green figures embody female hypostases of marine deities. Where the colour worn by the goddesses chimes with their individual persona’s characters. Also, it’s known that a prototype for the central figure of the composition, a small siren (mermaid), was the designer’s five year old daughter Romina.
