Aigana Gali is a British-Kazakh multidisciplinary artist whose work spans canvas, paper, textiles, and bronze. Born in Almaty, Kazakhstan, along the ancient Silk Road, her Eurasian heritage deeply influences her art, with references to Tengriism—the ancient spiritual traditions of the steppe—woven into her work. Gali’s notable series—Creation Myth, Steppe, and Tengri—reflect her artistic evolution and explore themes of ancient wisdom, nature’s cycles, and cosmic order.
Gali holds a BA in Fine Art from the 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). She has exhibited internationally across Europe, the USA, Asia, and the Middle East and collaborated on architectural design projects, including with Ricardo Bofill Taller de Arquitectura Atelier. Her fine art is held in private and public collections worldwide, including the Kistefos Museum (Norway), Beth Rudin DeWoody’s Bunker Artspace Museum (USA), the Royal Palace in Rabat (Morocco), and the Compton Family collection (Northampton, England), among others.
Totem Necklace “Hero” is the first wearable art project Aigana Gali created and exclusively for Elisabetta Cipriani Gallery.
