Gali's paintings are invested with subtle historical or mythical references, just as the Saka buried treasures in the endless plains of the steppe.
Aigana Gali is a multidisciplinary artist who works across a wide range of media, from canvas and paper to textiles and bronze, in a dynamic process guided by the essential character of each series. Born on the ancient crossing of the Great Silk Road in Almaty, Kazakhstan, to a Georgian mother and Kazakhstani father, Aigana's formative years were spent in the wild, open cradle of the Eurasian Steppe. This rich cultural heritage is an infinite source to her work; luminous and beguiling, Gali's works explore the mysterious forces - ancient wisdom, nature's cycles, and cosmic order - that shape our lives.
Gali holds a BA Fine Art, Kazakh Leading Academy of Art and Architecture (2001- 2005) an MA from the Institute Of Literature and Art, Academy of Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan (2005 - 2007) and an MA from Sotheby's Institute of Art (2010 - 2011). Gali has exhibited internationally in the USA, Europe, Central Asia and the Middle East, and has works in private and public collections around the world.
