Alienation — Green Figure (2023) Original Mixed-media Painting by Gela MIKAVA

Alienation — is an abstract figurative mixed-media painting by Gela Mikava from the Alienation series, exploring identity, emotional distance and the fragmented presence of the human figure.

A faceless silhouette emerges against a saturated magenta field, while the intense neon green garment creates a charged chromatic contrast. The absence of facial features removes individual identity, transforming the figure into a more universal symbol of isolation and psychological separation.

Textile and paint interact across the surface, giving the figure a tactile, almost sculptural presence. The contrast between vivid colour and emotional detachment is central to the work: visually energetic, the composition simultaneously communicates distance, anonymity and disconnection.

Created with mixed media on linen canvas and textile, the painting combines figurative abstraction with expressive colour and material experimentation.

At 40 × 50 cm, Alienation — Magenta Figure is a compact but visually intense work from Mikava's ongoing exploration of alienation, identity and the contemporary human condition.
