About Gabriela Aleksandra Szuba
Gabriela Aleksandra Szuba, known as GAS, is a Polish artist based in Italy. With a background in economics, she embraced an autonomous artistic journey driven by a deep spiritual search and the desire to give form to the unseen. Her work emerges from silence as a meditative act. Using acrylics, crackle paste, pigments, and gold leaf, GAS crafts textured surfaces where every fracture holds memory and every layer becomes emotional terrain. Here, material becomes time, a crack a scar, and gold a glimmer of sacred presence. Her paintings do not depict; they evoke. Cracks speak of vulnerability and strength, revealing holiness through imperfection. Her palette—deep and restrained—opens contemplative spaces between tension and stillness, body and spirit. Each title is a threshold: a symbolic entry into a suspended realm where visual language becomes a secular prayer. Exhibited in Italy, Argentina, and the UK, her work is a moment of shared introspection.
