Alienation / Textile Figure (2023)Mixed-media painting by Gela MIKAVA

From the Alienation series, this mixed-media work merges textile and paint to articulate a faceless silhouette suspended between presence and withdrawal. The added textile elements extend the body beyond the painted surface, creating a tactile tension between softness, color, and abstraction.

Vibrant blues and pinks collide with floral patterns and dark motifs, transforming the figure into an object of both fashion and emotional restraint. The result is a contemporary portrait that feels both intimate and distant — a psychological space visualized through materials.

Bold, experimental, and visually arresting, the piece functions as a statement artwork for collectors and contemporary interiors.
