Her art book “Stretching the Boundaries of Abstract” was published in 2015. Gaya’s video art projects appear in major art events and festivals. “To define the underlying aesthetic concept of my artwork, it is an abstraction which represents an amalgamation of various streams in the contemporary art. Depending on the substance of the selected theme, the aesthetic approach varies from impressionism to abstract expressionism and further to surrealism. The overarching cultural concerns and social message of my work focus on demonstrating beauty and power of nature and with a context that includes the harmony within nature as well as in the human interaction with the nature. With the power of colour, I try to capture the beauty of landscapes, light refractions, mysterious fluctuations of water, texture of flowers, and deviational patterns of a moving form. Music is that powerful source of inspiration which induces my profound emotions, plays on the strings of imagination and culminates in a refined creativity of artwork.”$
