About The Artwork

140x120cm Description: This iconic figure, once the epitome of regal poise and youthful allure, now undergoes a transformative disintegration. The INFANTA a symbol of aristocratic opulence and the rigid hierarchies of the past, is depicted here in a state of fragmentation. Her form dissolves into fractured elements—limbs melting into swirling brushstrokes, her once-pristine attire unraveling into abstract chaos. This visual disintegration suggests a profound unraveling of entrenched systems and ideals. Through this reinterpretation, I question the endurance of structures built on privilege and entitlement. The decay of the INFANTA embodies the vulnerability inherent in inherited status and traditional power dynamics. The juxtaposition of the original subject with this contemporary interpretation invites reflection on the impermanence of societal constructs. In confronting the fragmentation of a historical symbol, "Decay of Royalty" urges us to contemplate the transitory nature of authority and the need for evolving perspectives on identity and influence.

I'm Gela Mikava, a self-taught artist based in Tbilisi, Georgia, born on November 16, 1995. My artistic journey began with a foundation in architecture, culminating in both bachelor's and master's degrees from the Technical University. This architectural background profoundly influences my artistic expression, guiding me toward a multidisciplinary approach that incorporates diverse materials and techniques. Throughout my career, I have exhibited my work in numerous personal and group exhibitions, including prestigious events such as the Affordable Art Fair and Battersea Art Fair in London. Notably, I was the youngest artist featured at the Hessinck Live Auction in the Netherlands, where my paintings were sold alongside renowned artists like Andy Warhol and Banksy. In my art practice, I employ a wide array of mixed media, experimenting with textures and materials such as textiles, soft materials, cellophane, oil, acrylic, pastel, and marker. This eclectic blend of mediums allows me to achieve a heightened level of expression and visual complexity. Thematically, my work delves into existential and political subjects, which I convey through vibrant and captivating colors. By juxtaposing profound ideas with aesthetic beauty, I aim to provoke contemplation and evoke introspection in the viewer. Each piece is intended to plant a seed of thought that grows into a deeper understanding over time. I believe in constant artistic evolution, aspiring towards the forefront of ultra-contemporary art. Through my creative endeavors, I seek to push boundaries and challenge perceptions, contributing to the ever-evolving landscape of global art. Thank you for considering my artistic journey and the concepts behind my work. I am committed to advancing the dialogue of contemporary art and look forward to sharing my vision with the world.
