ABOUT ARTIST | bleikh.art

Galina Bleikh

Galina works in New Media Art: digital art concepts, 3d, AR and VR, Bio-art, video art, web art, generative art, etc. She is interested in how the new artificial reality can interact with us through art.

Galina’s creative activity also includes a mutual project with Elena Serebryakova (since 2011). The duo of artists developed the concept of “The Simulacro-Centric World” based on their creative method, which they called “The Hybrid Neural Network Art” (HNN Art http://hnn-art.com).

Galina graduated from the Stieglitz St. Petersburg State Academy of Art and Industry (MA). Since 1993, Galina Bleikh has lived in Jerusalem.

As a New Media artist Galina takes part in many solo and group exhibitions and contemporary art conferences worldwide.
