As a leader in aesthetic education and an expert in visual and applied arts, Ochiauri contributed extensively to Georgia’s National Curriculum Department at the Ministry of Education and Science.

Buba Ochiauri’s art is a profound fusion of elements of realism and expressionism, deeply rooted in Georgian cultural and historical motifs. Her works explore themes of resilience, identity, and spirituality through meticulously crafted compositions that blend bold, symbolic imagery with rich textures and evocative color palettes. Ochiauri’s mastery of oil on canvas is evident in her ability to create depth and emotion, using layered paint and dynamic brushwork to evoke both visual and tactile engagement.
Characterized by a balance of organic and geometric forms, her art often features figures, landscapes, and motifs that reflect Georgia’s rich heritage while addressing universal human experiences. Recurring symbols, such as warriors, vibrant female characters, and traditional patterns, add layers of meaning, inviting viewers to reflect on cultural memory and the passage of time. Ochiauri’s distinctive narrative approach and conceptual depth position her as a vital figure in contemporary Georgian art, celebrated for preserving tradition while pushing the boundaries of modern aesthetics.
