Levan was born in Telavi, Georgia, and began painting at the age of eight under the guidance of his aunt, the celebrated Georgian painter Rusudan Tozashvili — a two-time laureate and winner of the People’s Artist of the Soviet Union award. Those early years were formative in an unexpected way: Rusudan also worked as a colourist at the Georgian State Animation Studios, and Levan spent summers there copying animation cells from the walls, absorbing a tradition of hand-crafted storytelling that would quietly shape everything that followed.

He studied art and wood carving at the Georgian State Art College, graduating in 1999, before moving to London. His work has been exhibited at the Museum of National Culture in Telavi, the International Centre of Art and Georgian State Gallery in Tbilisi, and the Georgian Embassy in London, where several pieces entered private collections. At the Ambassador’s request, he painted the Crest of Georgia, still in official use on Embassy correspondence today.

That foundation in traditional fine arts — watercolour, ink, hand-drawn line — is what gives artintime its distinctive character. Rather than leaving those roots behind for the digital world, Levan brought them with him. The result is animation, motion graphics, and VFX work with a textured, handcrafted aesthetic that stands apart from the clean, algorithmic look that dominates the industry.

Today, artintime works with studios, agencies, and independent clients across the UK and internationally, offering services in 2D animation, motion graphics, visual effects, and illustration.

Whether the brief calls for something narrative and expressive or clean and commercial, the approach is always the same: craft-led, story-driven.
