Collaborations
Jacquet Droz and Rusudan Petviashvili —Exclusive Project
The collaboration began in 2019 when Rusudan Petviashvili created a special painting titled “Woman with the Bird” for Jaquet Droz as part of an exclusive project. Swiss artisans then transformed this painting onto the watch dial using the Grand Feu technique. In 2022, the collaboration was renewed, after which three exclusive watches—Strength, Eternity, and In the Light of the Moon—were offered to the clients.​
Collaboration with Villeroy & Boch
Rusudan Petviashvili has collaborated with the luxury German ceramics and tableware brand Villeroy & Boch. The brand has released porcelain decorated with artwork by Rusudan Petviashvili, which was exclusively created for the collaboration.

Due to the success of the initial product, the partnership has recently been renewed, resulting in the release of new limited-edition porcelain items.
ARTIST STATEMENT
'In my work, I strive to capture the essence of peace—an energy that enlivens the canvas and empowers the spirit without diminishing its significance. The colors and forms I choose embody love, joy, trust, wisdom, kindness, and the vastness of space. Through this harmonious mood, I aim to evoke a feeling that transcends boundaries, allowing the viewer's heart to expand beyond its confines. Each stroke invites reflection and connection, creating a dialogue that unites us in our shared human experience. I desire to inspire a deep sense of peace and unity, reminding us of the beauty within and around us."
