Artist Gala Reya was born and raised in Moscow, lives and works in Tbilisi, Georgia. Passionate about the world of art Gala Reya realized that she was very interested in the study of culture as a phenomenon of human intellectual and aesthetic activity, which became the inspiration for obtaining a degree in Cultural Studies at the Moscow University of History of Cultures. After graduation Reya participated in the organization of exhibitions, multicultural festivals, worked with contemporary artists, interacted with the Russian Academy of Arts. Coming into contact with the contemporary art environment, Gala became increasingly aware of her desire to prove herself as a creator, which served as an incentive to enroll in the Moscow Academic Art Institute named after V.I. Surikov. Additional education as an image-maker at the Institute of Culture, gave her the opportunity to deeply study color science and color psychology. This brought her new experience as a designer working with the image of the environment, as well as shaped her love for color in her work. After realizing that her aesthetic and sensual vision of the world was formed and she had something to share with the world, Gala begins her journey as an artist. Since 2013 Gala Reya has been actively exhibiting and has had five solo exhibitions. Her thirst for travel and free creativity brought her back to her ethnic roots in Georgia. Here a transformation and rethinking of her creative idea took place. Experimenting with materials and finding new meanings, Gala continues her journey as an artist. Her work can be found in various countries, notably Georgia, Russia, Italy, Greece, Germany, Argentina, USA, Ecuador, Estonia, Switzerland and Norway.
