In the history of the art of the turn of the millennium, the work of Zurab Tsereteli, in Russia and beyond, occupies a prominent place due to the eccentricity of his personality and the unique features of his creative method.

A deep connoisseur of art history and a philosopher, the artist Tsereteli is invariably an active participant in the modern world art process. The style of his works organically combines the traditions of the cultures of the ancient East and modern Western civilization.

The quintessence of optimism, the affirmation of the sensual and bright, colorful, plastic and saturated to the limit of being, as a true gift of life, is the creative credo of the painter Zurab Tsereteli. His works have firmly entered the history of the fine arts of the new Russia, and have become an impressive and powerful artistic phenomenon. In the master’s work, a synthesis of twentieth-century artistic experience, new themes and experiments of our time is synthesized and, at the same time, the author expresses his desire to create “art for art”.
