Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Zaza Kotrikadze. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Zaza, appreciate you joining us today. I’m sure there have been days where the challenges of being an artist or creative force you to think about what it would be like to just have a regular job. When’s the last time you felt that way? Did you have any insights from the experience?
Yes ,i m happy as a creative-though sometimes i do imagine what is would be like to have a more predictable life. but honestly even the idea of a “regular job” feels abstract to me now.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
My creative work often begins where words fail-I m drawn to moments of silence, inner tension, and emotional contradiction. I try to explore what’s not being said, the feeling behind the expression. My inspiration comes from human vulnerability, memory and the constant tension between control and chaos. My mission is not to provide answers, but to hold space-for reflection, discomfort, or ever healing. i want my work to resonate like a mirror:quiet , but impossible to ignore!
For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?
For me, the most rewarding part of being a creative is turning sometimes invisible-a feeling, a thought, an intuition-into something others can see or feel. That moment when someone says, “i have felt this, but i never had the words or image for it”,that s everything. It reminds me that art is not just expression-it is connection!
What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?
My creative journey is driven by a need to understand the invisible-emotions, memories, patterns of pain and decorate the world, but to decide it. The mission is reveal what’s usually hidden, both in myself and in others. Art, form me, is a way of surviving consciously.
