GAYATRI GAMUZ was born in Spain in 1966. In 1989, while still an art student, she travelled to India for the first time. In 1992, she moved to India to work and live full-time.

Gayatri was in group shows in the London Biennale, in RL Fine Arts, New York, in Nehru Centre and the Noble Sage Gallery in London, in the Hong Kong Visual Arts Centre, in the Kombank Art Hall in Belgrade and in Mojo Gallery and 1×1 Gallery in Dubai. She participated in a number of curated shows in various galleries in India and was presented in the India Art Summit by Espace Gallery, New Delhi.

In her early years in India, she travelled widely and stayed for periods in various places like Dharamshala, Varanasi, Vrindavan, Pushkar, Kerala and Coorg. In Kerala, she was involved in the art and cultural movement from the 90’s, a
period when contemporary visual art flourished and Kochi started gaining a place in the art map of the world. She played a key role and took part in the vibrant social and cultural discourse of Kerala—Mayalokam art collective, Kashi Art Cafe, the five annual Tree Festivals and in Encounter, 1st contemporary art festival in Kochi.

She was a panellist in Art and Ecology discussion in MPCVA, Mumbai. She participated in the “Maestros de la Figuracion’ course in the University of Navarra, Spain, with the maestro Antonio Perez.

She did a retrospective of her works in the museum ‘Fundación Antonio Perez’ in Cuenca, Spain and a number of solo exhibitions in Kashi Art Gallery in Kochi. She also did solo shows in the Embassy of India, Berlin, in Leon Academy, Istanbul, in Centro Civico, Besos Mar, Barcelona, in Stevens Street Gallery, Yandina, Australia and in other galleries in India and abroad.

In 2008 Gayatri moved to Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu and started to live together with her family in their organic farm. The new synergy she encountered in her reclusive life close to nature at the foot of the sacred mountain of Arunachala created a pronounced shift in her work. In 2017 her art transited from the figurative to the abstract.
