Page 91 - Steppe - Aigana Gali

Like portals into another dimension, Steppe collapse the distance between her two worlds. They express Aigana’s spiritual
connection to the topographical vastness of her native land, the world's largest landlocked country and ninth-largest country on the planet. As if she had raised a canvas in the desert, they describe how light interacts with the material world to show us essential truths, and oer us a chance to contemplate something wider. Gracing the walls of private homes, institutions and prestigious venues world wide, Aigana’s paintings address some of the deep, recurring themes in art and spirituality, in particular how we experience the mysterious laws of nature and find our place in the universe.
“When you are in this place, absent of any human constructs, you begin to empty your mind, and then you begin to observe the self. It is a form of dynamic meditation, where you are liberated from all you have accumulated, and it is sometimes painful as you must look at every part of the self. It is why in the Steppe we have Tengri, an ancient, silent religion in which you relate the self to nature and understand you are a part of it.”
