Guzaliya Xavier is a Sydney-based, award-winning Australian artist known for her richly textured landscapes, still lifes, and abstract works – each piece instantly recognizable for its unique style and tactile presence.
Inspired by the natural world and the rhythm of everyday life, Guzaliya is passionate about creating art that invites not only visual appreciation but also a sensory experience. Her distinctive use of texture, built up through layers of paint and palette knife techniques, brings depth, emotion, and movement to her canvases. She sees texture as a language in itself, capable of evoking memory, mood, and atmosphere.
Guzaliya has exhibited widely across Australia, participated in major art fairs, and has been a Finalist in several art prizes, receiving three People’s Choice Awards in recent years. Her work has been featured in multiple home design magazines and was showcased on the TV series Selling Houses Australia. Her paintings are held in private collections throughout Australia, the USA, UK, New Zealand, Japan, and Germany.
