. Autobiographical notes
.
. Nature of the universe in its infinity, a man fighting - that's my theme.
. Check out Our find their own world of images in abstract painting, which has a high plastic culture-that's my goal.
. The idea of my abstract forms goes back to nature, apparently, are in them and the inherent "informalizmu 'interpretation of painting as the art of psychic improvisation.
. Experimenting with different materials combine figurative and abstract elements ..

. Criticism
.
. ... "And although the painting G. Zautashvili - a painting (let us not confuse such a tautology), . I think, . to exhibit his works in the Museum of Musical Culture, . beyond chance, . there is a deep conditioning: his art continues the tradition of high touch and musical cultures of plastic in the twentieth century ",

L. Bazhanov

... "In the very fine structure of his painting, painting techniques, the asymmetrical balance of color forms can be traced ... "pure" artist, painting seeks to express the essence of things.
In the works Gela always have some connection with reality. The audience suddenly distinguish individual "objects - objects", or rather hints at them: a bird, tree, cloud, the outlines of ancient temples and again all dissolves into infinity "
