The work of the master is well known in Russia and abroad. He is the author of more than 5000 works of painting, graphics, easel and monumental sculpture, monumental and decorative art.

Researchers note that the art of Z.K. Tsereteli is characterized by a pictorial and energetic environment characteristic of the so-called "magic realism." The past contrasts with the present, the fantastic with the everyday, the return of almost sacred value to the simplest objects. In the works of Zurab Tsereteli, an unexpected connection often occurs, and sometimes interconversion of different objects, human figures, animals, fish, birds and architectural structures, which forms a bright plastic image of the canvas as a whole. Each canvas or sheet of paper has many dimensions, spatial and semantic breakthroughs, which seem to overcome the boundaries of the sheet, and at the same time remain in harmony with them.

Tsereteli comprehends the plastic nature and metaphysical essence of the depicted objects. He builds a complex system of hints and associations, compositional variations, to tell about human being, different fates, and beauty. But the main theme remains life itself in its momentary manifestations. chamberness and the grandiose movement of eras, the monumental sound of eternity.
