Gala Reya— multidisciplinary artist, she lives and works in Georgia. Her artistic practice originated from her interest in research as a cultural studies scholar at the Institute of Cultural History, where she studied. It was then reinforced by professional skills acquired at the Graphic Arts Department of the Moscow Academic Art Institute named after V.I. Surikov. This synthesis of analytical and creative foundations shaped her interest in studying borderline states—between matter and consciousness, science and spiritual practices. Drawn to the postulates of Cosmism and the Russian Avant-Garde, Gala finds her language in light, silence, and fragmented writing—as a way to visualize invisible structures of thought.

Her works explore the quantum entanglement of consciousness, attention as an ecological resource, and language as a form of memory, using Georgian writing as a bridge between the ancient and the digital. She creates spaces where a material object encounters its virtual “mirage” — not as an illusion, but as another form of presence.

Since 2013, Gala Reya has been actively participating in group and solo exhibitions in Russia and Europe. In parallel with her artistic practice, Gala develops curatorial and art management activities: she has organized exhibitions, worked with institutions and artists, forming spaces for dialogue between art, science, and society. This experience has strengthened her conviction that contemporary art should be not only expressive, but also responsible—visionary and realizable.

A turning point in her career came when she moved to Georgia in 2022. Having undergone a profound personal transformation, the artist discovered a universal visual language, integrating elements of Georgian writing into her paintings. Text, as a medium, became for her a code of personal identity, a rhythmic structure, and a visual metaphor for neural and quantum processes. Reinterpreting Kandinsky's theory of non-objective art and the depiction of spiritual experience, Gala finds a new medium for the “sound of the soul” — the Georgian alphabet. Avoiding simple decorativeness, Gala creates systems in which personal experience crystallizes into universal statements about the interconnection of the microcosm and the macrocosm.

Gala Reya's research naturally transitions into the realm of mental ecology. In a world oversaturated with information noise, focus becomes the most valuable resource for directed human energy. Topography of Silence is a series illustrating the processes of multidirectional trajectories of thought, where each act of awareness is not passive observation but active creation of reality.
