Artist Statement:

when I show my culture and
history through my work, I am
showing a mixture of many
cultures that have been in
Central Asia over thousands of
years combined with my own

present experience come
together to influence me and
my work. The historical
influence is strongest with my
choice of textiles. As many
aboriginal cultures have done
in the past, my people have
been using wool in all aspects
of their life, including art.
It serves as a symbol of
history for me as I honor the
thousands of generations that
came before me that have
expressed themselves in dress,
design of the yurt, the
decorations for the yurt,and
carpets. Combining silk with
unprocessed wool serves as a
symbol of my origins in
representing the Silk Road.
This is a place on the Earth
that has seen diverse cultures
as one of the world's first
trading routes from China to
the West. This Route has been
an active joining force for
all of Asia to be connected to
Africa and Europe.The audience
will see some aspects of this
culture and history in my
work. I hope they ...

| Your Personal Biography |
Born in 1977, in the country of Kazakhstan, a part of the former
Soviet Union, Aliza’s first memories are of enjoying fine art and music.
Classically trained for 10 years at a school for gifted children, she followed in the family tradition of studying the violin. As a young woman of 16, Aliza’s passion matured into a love of the visual arts. Graduating with a Master’s degree in Art and Textiles from the Kazakh State Academy of Art, Central Asia’s most renowned school of art, theater and cinema, Aliza started living her dream of a life creating beautiful works depicting her own style that caries her culture’s influence. She found much success in her home environment of Central Asia, Aliza has now focused on developing her craft in Canada. She has already hosted her first Canadian exhibition entitled Art From Another Hemisphere, as well as having her work displayed in Western and Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and the United States.
