[1] Alexander Bandzeladze was born in Tulun, Siberia, to a Georgian father and Estonian mother.
In 1947, he enrolled in the Oil Painting Department of the Tbilisi State Academy of Arts under the tutorship of Sergo Kobuladze, Iosif Charlemagne, and Valentin Sherpilov.
In the 1950s, Alexandre Bandzeladze led an innovative movement in Georgia and the Soviet Union in general and pioneered the process of rejuvenating the language of visual arts.
During his creative quest, and as a result of taking in the traditions of modernist European oil painting, he developed his own artistic system characterized by striking individualism.
After Davit Kakabadze, Bandzeladze was one of the first to have returned abstract art into Georgia's artistic context.
