Ekaterina Galera (born 1977 in Russia) is a visual artist who has been living and working in France for the past 15 years.

With a background in both language and design, her abstract work is shaped by a literary sensitivity — to rhythm, structure, and the unspoken. She approaches painting as a form of visual writing, where silence carries weight, gestures speak as clearly as words, and meaning often emerges between the lines — like a visual poem built from absence, tension, and restraint.

Her compositions are built slowly, through layering, rhythm, and gesture — quiet, tactile, and unresolved.

She works primarily with raw canvas, dry pigments, and acrylics — often incorporating marble dust, vintage paper, and fragments of Japanese washi into her surfaces. These layered materials serve as both structure and voice, forming a tactile vocabulary where texture, absence, and edge become compositional elements.

Raised in Eastern Siberia, she grew up in a landscape of raw contrasts — where forest meets steppe, and summer heat clashes with northern frost. The muted tones of the steppe and the deep greens of the taiga continue to echo through her visual language today.
