Irina Gabiani

1971, Tbilisi
Lives and works in Luxembourg

Irina Gabiani (born in 1971 in Tbilisi, Georgia; currently living and working in Luxembourg) is a visual artist working in painting, drawing, installation, video, and performance. Her practice investigates the relationships between the microcosm and the macrocosm, exploring structures, connections, and perceptions of reality.

The Universe in its holistic essence is the focus of the research of Irina Gabiani according to whom we all belong to a unique system, to a "big organism" imagined as a kind of complex, interrelated chain, of which we, and everything around us, are a part.

Trying to see beyond what we can perceive with our eyes, going beyond the vision of the world as we use to know, the artist researches the innumerable similarities between the infinitely big and the infinitely small within matter.
