Gabi Madrid is a multi-disciplinary artist, intuitive, and energy healer based in Atlanta, GA. Their approach to art has always been based around the medium or concept that "calls" to them. The mediums range from new media installation, found objects, paper art, collage, and reclaimed materials such as wood and metal. With Muscogee Creek heritage but being raised outside of the tribe and in the South created a cultural diaspora which has led a searching for connection to tradition and spirituality. This has guided the artist on an existential journey to explore healing of generational patterning, societal roles, and the collective unconscious. An introspective search into their own past and trauma led to the emergence of various series. Madrid graduated in 2019 from The Savannah College of Art & Design with their BFA. Working as a fine artist granted them experience in writing grants/proposals, woodworking, metal fabrication, and public art installation. Their work has been included in a group shows at the Zuckerman Museum of Art - Fine Arts Gallery and exhibited at the Palazzo Ca' Zanardi in Venice, Italy. Their work is also publicly on display on Freedom Park Trail and on the BeltLine in Atlanta, GA.
