Illustrator Ana Miminoshvili Voted Young Guns 22 Creative Choice Winner
Ana Miminoshvili, an illustrator and designer based in Tbilisi, has received special recognition from The One Club for Creativity as the Young Guns 22 Creative Choice winner.
The accolade is the result of a public vote by the global creative community who reviewed work of all Young Guns 22 winners (the full lineup was reported on last month in SHOOT) and picked the one they believe stands above all others.
Miminoshvili invests her time in pondering color palettes, lighting sources, and the interplay of free-flowing lines and structured geometric shapes. This mindful approach enables her to infuse her artwork with a sense of warmth, even when the subject matter might suggest otherwise.
Before starting her freelance career, she spent a few years at a creative agency as a multidisciplinary designer. Miminoshvili holds her country’s first-ever Eurobest Young Creative Gold medal, Webby Award, and continues this pattern in the illustration industry as Georgia’s first-ever Communication Arts Excellence Award winner and first Georgian teacher on Domestika.
Besides client work, she enjoys creating personal projects, like her quarantine game Emojinarium, and manages her small art shop. In 2021, Miminoshvili founded Illustrators Club, a nonprofit organization that hosts public events to educate and connect young Georgian artists.
Young Guns is the industry’s only global, cross-disciplinary, portfolio-based awards competition that identifies and celebrates today’s vanguard of young creatives. This year’s entries were judged by a diverse jury of 101 creatives--many of whom are past YG winners--from 45 countries.
