Sergo Chakhoiants belonged to the generation of artists of the 1950s, though it wasn’t until the 2000s that he gained recognition. His son, Alexander Chakhoiants, shared that the artist's lifelong dream was to hold a personal exhibition, a goal that remained unfulfilled. Sergo was deeply committed to his painting, spending more time in his studio than at home. His wife, an art critic, believed in his talent, and when Sergo was working, she often told their children not to disturb him. He never thought of his artistic subjectivism or distinctive style as exceptional, and often justified it to his family that he could not paint in any other way.

Ivane Javakhishvili, the rector of Tbilisi University, had stated his viewpoint about such an evasive measure in mid-February, and Ekvtime Takaishvili, his friend and the university’s founder, echoed it: "If the treasure is not hidden, the Bolsheviks will steal everything; we know very well what they did to Georgian churches."

In the nineteenth-century, Kutaisi was the second-largest city of Georgia and a center of governance within the Russian Empire. By the end of the century, the construction of administrative and public buildings in the city had significantly increased. Among these new buildings was the District Court, built between 1898 and 1900. Located at the end of present-day Newport Street, near the bank of the Rioni River, the court building plays a prominent role in the city’s urban landscape. Today, it houses the Kutaisi Court of Appeals.
