Гала Рейя — междисциплинарная художница. Родилась в Москве, сейчас живет и работает в Тбилиси, Грузия.
Ее художественная практика основана на полученном образовании: она изучала культурологию в Институте истории культуры и прошла профессиональную подготовку по графике в Московском художественном институте имени Сурикова. Это сочетание аналитических и творческих принципов привело ее к исследованию границ между материей и сознанием, а также между наукой и духовными практиками.
Alongside her own creative work, Gala has several years' experience of organising exhibitions and multicultural festivals, as well as working as an art manager with contemporary artists and interacting with the Russian Academy of Arts and institutions in other countries. This experience has deepened her understanding of the artistic process, both practically and in terms of its systemic organisation.
Since 2013, she has actively participated in group and solo exhibitions in Russia and other countries. Her artistic philosophy is rooted in the study of invisible psycho-emotional processes and the pursuit of freedom by turning to inner experience. Reinterpreting Kandinsky's theory of non-objective art and the depiction of spiritual experience, she finds a new medium for the 'sound of the soul' in the form of the Georgian alphabet.
A turning point in her career was her move to Georgia in 2022. After undergoing a profound personal transformation, the artist discovered a universal visual language by incorporating elements of the Georgian alphabet into her paintings. For her, text became a code of personal identity, a rhythmic structure and a visual metaphor for neural and quantum processes.
Her work is a form of visual philosophy, embodying the invisible dimensions of reality in multi-layered paintings, installations and augmented reality. Rejecting decoration, she creates systems in which personal experience crystallises into universal statements about the connection between the microcosm and the macrocosm.
She continues to actively participate in exhibitions and competitions, as well as curating projects that promote dialogue between art, science and philosophy. Her works are held in private collections in Georgia, Russia, Italy, Greece, Germany, Argentina, the United States, Ecuador, Estonia, Switzerland and Norway.
