In 2023, a painting from "The Bijouterie" series was featured at Hessink Live Auction, where it was presented alongside works by Andy Warhol and Banksy. This milestone cemented GELA MIKAVA’s reputation as a rising star in contemporary art.

"The Bijouterie" is a thought-provoking abstract art series that explores society’s obsession with wealth, status, and material possessions. The series visually translates these themes through symbolic depictions of earrings and precious stones—objects that traditionally represent luxury, power, and success.

🔸 Concept & Symbolism
Mikava’s artwork challenges viewers to question the true value of material wealth. While jewelry and luxury items are often associated with prestige, "The Bijouterie" exposes the illusion behind these symbols. The paintings blend textured layers of oil, acrylic, pastel, textiles, and marker, creating a rich, multi-dimensional effect that mirrors the complexity of our relationship with materialism.

🔸 For Collectors & Interior Designers
Ideal for collectors of abstract art, conceptual paintings, and ultra-contemporary figurative works, these paintings make a powerful statement in luxury interiors, modern galleries, and curated art collections.

🔸 Why Collect GELA MIKAVA?
✔ Featured alongside Warhol & Banksy at Hessink Auction
✔ Exhibited at top international art fairs (Affordable Art Fair, Battersea Art Fair)
✔ Collected by elite art investors (Lester Marks Collection)
✔ Growing demand in the global art market

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.
