About Masho Margishvili - Artist & Creator of Masholand

Hi, I’m Masho Margishvili, the artist behind Masholand. I first discovered this parallel universe in 2013 while living in Hanoi, Vietnam. Since then, I have explored it through murals, illustrations, animation, workshops, and more.

Masholand grew into a whimsical world filled with characters, landscapes, and untold stories. For years, it became the lens through which I shared my creativity, transforming walls, pages, and digital spaces into portals of imagination. Its landmarks, such as the Lake of Laughter, the Clouds’ Village, and the Park of Night Dreams, invited people to enter through a yellow door and leave with a lifted spirit.

In 2024, I felt the need to grow in a new direction. Masholand had started to feel like a limitation rather than just a style or method of expression. I decided to leave it behind as it was and continue experimenting more freely with different media, including music and new artistic tools, without being confined by Masholand’s frames.

Today, I still carry the name Masholand as my artistic identity, while also using Masho or Masho Marg. when expanding into new projects. I am currently based in Ho Chi Minh City and continue to work internationally, developing murals, illustrations, and creative projects that connect with both local and global communities.

At its core, my practice is about transformation - shifting perspectives, sparking curiosity, and creating works that encourage people to see the world differently.
