‘Akaki Bakradze once said that Viktor Gabiskiria mainly thought in pictures and images. The idea inspired me to seek illustrations for his poems. I spent nearly three years looking for suitable pictures on the internet as well as in the albums of prominent painters. That is why some of his poems appear side by side with the works by Van Gogh, Monet, Turner, Cezanne, Kuingy, or Davit Kakabadze, Irakli Parjiani, Tengiz Mirzashvili, Elene Akhvlediani, Lado Gudiashvili, Niko Pirosmani and many others, including some Georgian photographers’ works. I would be happy if I have managed to render his poetic world through such illustrations, offering a synthesis of poetry with art.’ (From Tsitsi Gabiskiria’s foreword.)
