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.

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.
