  one under the sun says:

  "Galia is the vital force, the wave that crushes with mighty powers and yet can sometimes only slightly caress the shore. Her art is pure expression, it comes right from the gut, you can't help but feel it in you.
  
  Look at her self-portraits and you will understand. She amazes me. She makes me braver. She makes me daring. I believe she has the same effect on many people.
  
  Her art comes from deeps of her heart. Even when she is showing us her every day life--it is never a mere snapshot, never devoid of feelings, meanings, purposes.
  
  Vital force. Yup. Hurricane with big heart."

  Strength ~vs~ Weakness says:

  "A genuine deep soul... fighting to express herself through her creativity & artistical talent. I've been following your stream for some time and become more and more moved by your works. Especially your self portraits in which you portray so easily. Seems so taskless for you!
  
  A wish of continued motivation my friend, take care :)"

  "Galia is a true artist in every sense of the word. Her art can not be defined, as she is as unpredictable as the wind. Her world is full of emotion and spirituality, yet she leaves it mysteriously for us to explore within our own hearts. Such a romantic and gentle soul...a blessing to this world. I forewarn the viewer: She will steal your heart! ;-)
  
  All my love sweet Galia,
  Marla"

  "I have a lot of contacts here on Flickr, some I call friend but few that I call "Muse", Galia is one of them.
  after seeing her works of art I view my photo taking and editing in a different light, sometime brighter sometimes darker but always in a better one than before her.
  I love your art Galia"

  francescocariati says:

  "Nelle sue foto emerge a prima vista emerge una feroce vitalità, provocatoria; osservando con l’anima più che con gli occhi disattenti dello spettatore passivo, si avverte la ricerca di una espressiva sensibilità interiore, non aspetta, non rappresenta la realtà, ma l’aggredisce con foto, anzi pensieri acuminati e taglienti, capace di sezionare l’istantaneità dell’attimo per immortalarla in foto cariche di lucida novità espressiva.
  I nudi in plastiche pose, in movimenti violenti o in scatti onirici, a volte hanno la violenza dei quadri di Caravaggio altre una classicità rinascimentale, rappresentano cioè un'esplorazione dell’anima, una performance di arte moderna. Nudi non più arma di seduzione o strumento sensuale con cui attrarre, ma solo una inconsueta forma di espressione; i corpi nudi diventano figure 'normali', perdono ogni significato simbolico e si trasformano in significativi strumenti di espressione artistica. Allo stesso modo le foto dei dettagli di cose o persone trasmettono la carica di sensibile poeticità trasgressiva e interiore. In sintesi Dharma Bum esplora e fotografa l’animo umano… semplicemente, istintivamente… in modo sublime.
  Francesco Cariati"

  "galia is a spirit.
  a fiery spirit.
  the strength in her photos is astounding.
  in them, she moves even when she is still.
  i've not seen photos like hers before.
  she has a wonderous brain, and her photos are a small
  but enlightening, glimpse inside it.
  the more she makes the better she gets.
  what a gorgeous lion-lady ;)

  "Many worlds in one stream.
  Emotion, colour, sensuality, travels, people, moods.
  On every page something wonderful is revealed, a map of the senses is opened and a journey begun.
  Abstractions, truths, rawness, power. Possibly even some beautiful lies.
  An emotional path is being walked; walk this path and you will see, learn, feel and love.
  A wonderful flickr contact, I hold Galia as a true friend.
  If it be possible to hold dear those we have never met, i do so here.
  The very best to thee.

  "Galia's flickr is filled with photos that are insightful, courageous, personal, sexual, raw, and sharply honest. Looking through her flickr, you will find a sense of her mysterious personality, but nevertheless, mysterious and cryptic. She is a spontanious dreamer with an imaginative heart."
