White Memor (2023) Original Mixed-media Painting by Gela MIKAVA

White Memory is a contemporary figurative painting from the ROOTS series, inspired by Georgian and Caucasian cultural heritage and traditional dress.

A solitary female figure appears within an almost entirely white composition. Her elongated silhouette, long dark braids and graphic details inspired by traditional Caucasian clothing are reduced to their essential forms.

The restrained palette gives the figure a quiet, timeless presence. Black lines and a subtle violet accent emerge against the white field, creating a delicate balance between absence and presence.

Through this minimal visual language, the artist explores cultural memory, ancestry and identity, transforming elements of Georgian heritage into a contemporary figurative image.
