Original artwork description:
The Black Cat Never Had (2025) by Gela Mikava is a deeply layered painting confronting post-socialist memory and embodied silence. A fragmented human form, a black cat as witness, and embedded text intersect to explore trauma, erasure, and the unseen survivors of historical rupture. Painted with muted flesh tones and stark black, this work invites the viewer into a quiet yet intense conversation about what remains when language fails.
Materials used:
Mixed media on linen canvas
