As an artist, Zautashvili experiments with the possibilities of multimedia, incorporating various contexts into his practice. For him, text, object, image, space, and sound are all integral components. His works aim to enrich and expand modern aesthetics, transcending purely empirical or emotional experiences.

Ilia Zautashvili asserts, “Art is not a slave of society,” emphasizing his resistance to superficial social clichés.

This approach involves reflecting on reality and uncovering new ideas and attitudes, which he offers as contributions to society.
