Guzaliya Xavier is Sydney based award winning Australian artist who paints highly textured, geometric optical art abstracts. Having a strong analytical mind, she likes to organise time, space, information and marks on canvas in particular order.

She has held a number of exhibitions, participated in multiple art fairs and been chosen as a finalist of several art prizes as well as winning 3 People’s Choice awards in Australian art prizes. Her paintings are mostly located in private collections in Australia, UK and USA.

Guzaliya’s art takes the viewer into a fascinating world of optical illusions. Particular effects are achieved by introduction of rhythmical repetitions and drastic or balanced transitions in tone or colour. Some of the artworks glow, some disrupt the vision and make it hard to interpret it in a conscious way. Some of them look like visual puzzles.

Her art has an impact on a viewer: hypnotising, meditative, calming, intriguing, and even obsessive. And each painting reveals something new the more one looks at it.
