ARTIST BIO
The unique customs, crafts and folklore of the Kyrgyz people, among whom she spent her childhood and younger years, also served to make a certain "aesthetic imprint" on her worldview.
Her post-graduate education was in the field of applied art. Creating something new with one's own hands is not only an irresistible desire, but rather an urgent need which haunts an artist all their life.
Asia began her adult life journey as an emigrant at the age of 23. After living in China and Malaysia until the age of 34, she moved to her historical homeland, Russia, and again found herself to be an immigrant with the same feeling of being out of place, this time in the very country where she had been born.
A burning desire to feel free, regardless of who she is and where she is, are the core emotions that the artist pours out into her work.

Multidisciplinary artist Asia Aveli was born in 1980 in Kyrgyzstan.
Her childhood was literally spent within the walls of the opera and ballet theatre where her parents worked. Later Asia herself would devote 15 years of her life to ballet. The ornaments on the stage costumes and the large-scale sets, conveying the moods of different epochs and cultures, and even the music coming from the orchestra pit, all served to instilling the future artist a love for everything sublime and beautiful.
