GELA MIKAVA’s Street Dogs – Shadows of Existence captures the fragile interplay between visibility and disappearance, survival and neglect. A childlike figure fades into the darkness while a street dog—symbolizing both resilience and abandonment—wanders through the composition like a fleeting ghost. Behind them, an obscured presence suggests an unseen force, shaping destinies from the shadows.

This haunting work invites the viewer to reflect on human vulnerability, urban isolation, and the invisible souls living on society’s edges. Through a masterful balance of figurative abstraction and conceptual depth, MIKAVA’s art transcends simple narrative, touching on existential questions of presence, memory, and identity.

🔹 A powerful piece for collectors of figurative and conceptual art
🔹 Ideal for modern interiors, galleries, and philosophical art enthusiasts
🔹 Original artwork by GELA MIKAVA, available exclusively on Artmajeur

Gela Mikava is a Georgian visual artist whose unique approach to artistry centers on repurposing Soviet-era cotton fabric stretch ceilings as his canvas of choice. In a world where materials are often discarded thoughtlessly, Mikava sees these ceilings as vessels of history, carrying the weight of generations' stories, emotions, and memories.

What distinguishes Mikava's work is the profound connection he forges between his canvas and its past. These stretch ceilings, witnesses to countless moments, retain the imprints of their previous inhabitants, each footprint and whisper etched into the fabric. When Mikava paints on these canvases, he feels a deep sense of responsibility to honor their heritage, allowing the canvas itself to guide his hand and convey its own narrative through his art.

At the core of Mikava's artistic philosophy lies the belief that the most powerful expressions emerge from the fusion of different materials and mediums. He strives to create art that not only ignites the imagination but also transcends time, evoking profound emotions in viewers. Each piece Mikava creates tells a story, not only of his vision but also of the rich histories embedded within the materials he employs.
