Exhibition – Pietà: A Mother’s Lament
My painting Pietà (2019) was included in the group exhibition Pietà: A Mother’s Lament, held at the University of Dayton, Ohio, USA, from March 4 to May 9, 2025.
The exhibition featured 40 contemporary artworks from around the world and focused on the emotional depth and sacred theme of the Pietà.

Biography
GELA MIKAVA (b. 1995, Georgia) is a contemporary artist whose emotionally charged paintings explore identity, memory, and the human condition. His work blends architectural precision with gestural abstraction, creating dynamic, layered compositions that invite deep reflection.
Mikava’s journey as an artist began in Georgia, where he was drawn to the power of visual storytelling from an early age. Today, his works are in private collections worldwide and have been exhibited at major international fairs like the Affordable Art Fair and Battersea Art Fair. His paintings have also been featured at Hessink Live Auction (Netherlands) alongside works by Andy Warhol and Banksy.
His signature style—textured, expressive, and thought-provoking—has earned him recognition among collectors seeking unique, museum-quality pieces. Mikava’s paintings challenge traditional artistic boundaries, offering a striking fusion of structure and spontaneity.
With a strong online presence and an ever-growing collector base, Mikava continues to shape the landscape of contemporary figurative abstraction. His works are available for collectors who seek bold, meaningful art with lasting impact.
