Georgian art culture is a sythesis of these varied influences, and is thus a unique expression of the many worlds around her. The colour and richness special to Georgian art were expressed in soaring architectural monuments and splendid wall paintings that inspired poetry, polyphonic songs and elegant dancing. Characteristic features of Georgian architecture are laconism and simplicity of forms, efficient design, harmonious proportions, grandeur combined with perfection, delicate ornamentation, light hues of colour, and a perfect harmony with the surrounding landscape. Georgian murals are particularly interesting. The Georgian style of painting, based on Byzantine traditions, grew as an original individual school which reached its peak in the 10th-13th centuries.
Georgian choreography has a special place in the culture of the country.
Georgian folk dances are diverse - each region of the country has its own, original dance. Characteristic features of Georgian culture and Georgian traditions are revealed in the folk dances by means of their dynamism, artistic skill, virtuosity of performance, grace and lyricism. The musical culture of Georgia is one of the world's most ancient. Polyphony, as an original type of Georgian musical pattern can be traced back to the 6th-5th cc. B.C. in ritual and celebratory songs.
