Irina Gabiani

Tbilisi, 1971
Lives and works in Luxembourg

Irina Gabiani is a contemporary artist whose work explores interconnectedness, perception, and the construction of reality. Growing up in Soviet-occupied Georgia, she experienced how fabricated narratives can reshape collective vision, obscuring reality as it is. For the artist, reality functions as an interconnected organism of which we, and everything around us, are an integral part.

Her multidisciplinary practice spans drawing, painting, video art, and installation, focusing on the relationship between the microcosm and the macrocosm. Her work explores the fluid boundaries between the individual and the universe, tracing the invisible connections that shape our experience of existence.

Gabiani frequently transforms images sourced from contemporary magazines, overlaying them with hand-drawn lines and extending motifs across figures and surfaces. This process creates visual networks and cyclical structures that reflect systems of connection and continuity.
