The Bijouterie by Gela Mikava.The series delves into society's obsession with wealth and luxury through the representation of earrings and precious stones as prominent elements in the artwork. These symbols serve as visual metaphors for the desire for material possessions and the status they bring.
By emphasizing the importance placed on external wealth and opulence, the series challenges viewers to question the underlying motivations and consequences of such pursuits.
The portrayal of earrings and precious stones in the artwork draws attention to the allure and glamour associated with these items. They symbolize the embodiment of wealth and luxury in society, often representing success, power, and social standing. However, beneath the surface allure, the series prompts viewers to consider whether material possessions truly hold the significance and fulfillment that they are often attributed.
By raising questions about the true value of material possessions, "The Bijouterie" series invites viewers to examine their own relationship with wealth and luxury. It encourages contemplation on the broader implications of a society consumed by materialism and the potential impact on individual well-being, personal relationships, and societal values.
Overall, the painting series "The Bijouterie" serves as a catalyst for introspection and critical reflection on materialism's pervasive influence in our lives. It seeks to provoke a reconsideration of our societal values, encouraging a shift towards a more balanced and meaningful existence beyond the superficial pursuit of wealth and luxury.

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.
