This is my own website. I built it the way I build every artist's site I work on: as a curator first, developer second.
I'm Vladimir Sheshak, a curator and artist based in Tbilisi, with exhibitions including MoMA Tbilisi and Ars Electronica. I also handle the technical side myself: semantic structure, image optimization, search indexing.
Most artists face a choice between a developer who doesn't understand why the sequence of works matters, or a cheap template that flattens everything into a generic grid. Neither one can look at your CV and know which line matters to a gallery and which one is filler.
On this site: curatorial structuring of Bio, Artist Statement and CV for how galleries actually read them. Clean semantic build on Google Sites, no monthly hosting cost. Direct submission to Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools. Basic GEO optimization so the work also surfaces in AI search tools, not only Google.
Google PageSpeed: 94 Performance, 100 Accessibility, 91 SEO. Fully indexed and searchable within days of launch.
If your site currently makes you choose between looking professional and looking like yourself, that's exactly the problem I solve.

BEYOND CAPSULE — Brand Identity, Packaging & Art Direction
Know what is inside.
An independent identity for a fictional US-market supplement line, developed from the information on the label outward.
The starting point was a nutraceutical brand with a futuristic aesthetic. The challenge was to explain its composition and formats without making that aesthetic stand in for evidence of results.
01 / Collection and detail.
The line presents ashwagandha root powder in two formats: capsules and powder. Format, ingredient and quantity lead the reading order. Yellow-green identifies capsules; lavender identifies powder. The palette carries through the label bands, lids, colored capsule halves and scoop. Names and numerical codes support recognition alongside color.
02 / From 3D to packaging.
The jars and accessories were built in Blender around that identification system. One half of each capsule is colored, while the other is transparent. The label hierarchy moves from the front panel into Supplement Facts, suggested use and supporting information. The second board pairs original 3D renders with the flat label artwork so the packaging can be read as a designed object, not only as a campaign image.
03 / Editorial and applications.
The same structure extends to a digital entry screen and A5 product sheets. The studio campaign explores the collection through low angles, top views, macro textures and a capsule held between fingers. Product references guide the AI-assisted images, with selection focused on consistency of color, packaging and scale. The accompanying 20-second film animates the selected stills and typography, with an original instrumental soundtrack.
Creative direction, visual identity, packaging, 3D and art direction: Mauricio Pontual / MP House Studio.
Tools: Blender and Higgsfield. Motion assembled in Higgsedit.
Self-initiated concept; not commissioned. Fictional brand and product specifications. AI-assisted editorial imagery based on original 3D packaging. No product efficacy or market results are claimed.
I love how you pair the colors
I created these futuristic earring concepts in Midjourney, then packaged them into a clean case-study layout — cutouts, numbering, material callouts — ready for a lookbook or pitch deck.
Love this!
Seasonal identity for Beat Film Festival. The challenge: create a concept where cinema helps audiences process a turbulent cultural and historical moment — staying relevant and resonant rather than offering escape from it.
The identity metaphor for BFF is a shared journey —
audience and festival alike searching for solid ground.
"Get on Board" is an invitation to hop into the same boat, riding together the waves of emotion sparked by film and shaped by the turbulence around us. Beat becomes the lighthouse in that storm — a sense of safety, belonging, and a moment worth sharing.
The gradient makes the whole identity special, what do you think?
