One of the principal, program ideas Boris Kocheyshvili - this idea of bringing in the fine arts Baroque and constructivism, and to combine seemingly incompatible - weightless elegance of baroque dynamics and compositional clarity and logic of constructivism. In the artist's works is surprisingly simple and at the same time a new idea is embodied in the selection of subjects and forms in their plastic behavior on the sheet, in work with the space. Architectural fantasies, which are made by the artist of the sites of existing and invented incredibly emotional - and at the same time concise, theater - and at the same time natural. These contrasting combinations excite and captivate. Journey from the leaf to the leaf into a fascinating walk through the baroque rhythms and graceful Architectural Model, the paths created by the artist of extraordinary spaces.

Even from his student days takes a close relationship of the artist with the traditions of VHUTEMAS.

Closest friends at home were Udaltsova (wife Drevin ) and Vera Lantsetti. Since 1965 and within ten years the artist worked in an experimental etching studio behalf II Nivinsky . Daily work with master printers, drawing sessions, modest "shop", but fundamentally important to the artists impressions of works, finally, tips ES Theiss, held in due time by PV Miturich and, later, in many respects the opposite Miturich VA Favorsky , - all contributed to familiarizing the young artist to the graphic tradition.

Art of Boris Kocheyshvili absolutely unique. His works are filled with tenderness for nature - a touching and reverent. At the same time, it is clear that the artist is well acquainted with the history and traditions of world art. After all, just having graduated from the necessary baggage, consisting of technical skill, and personally experienced, processed by the experience of previous generations, it is possible to achieve absolute freedom in art and have their say, the word which will not be lost but will be heard in a discordant chorus called the - art.
