About me

Gala Lillian Glotzbach (b. 2001, Berlin) is a German-Trinidadian painter working with oil on canvas. Her work explores identity, memory, and the lingering effects of colonial histories focusing on Black female figures placed in atmospheres of decay, vulnerability, and emotional tension.

Drawing from personal and collective sources, her figures appear both present and dissolving, evoking questions of visibility, generational trauma, and the persistence of presence. Her paintings aim to connect the visible and invisible, bridging past and present.

She has exhibited internationally, including in Paris, Reykjavík, Berlin, and Copenhagen.
