Predators and Herbivores” is not about animals. It’s about human states — roles we adopt, sometimes simultaneously. The predator is not always aggressive, nor is the herbivore always innocent. These categories slip into each other, sometimes violently, sometimes imperceptibly.

In this series, I explore how bodies absorb contradiction — how a single figure can hold both threat and vulnerability, prayer and silence, impulse and restraint. The imagery is deliberately unstable: limbs multiply, outlines blur, gestures are interrupted. Nothing is entirely clear, because these conditions rarely are.

Animal forms — wolves, deer — appear more as psychic residues than symbols. I’m not illustrating a narrative, I’m constructing a space where internal forces conflict and coexist.

In the end, the series is about how we internalize the dynamics of domination and submission, and how these roles manifest not just socially, but spiritually and physically — often without our awareness

Gela Mikava is a Georgian visual artist whose unique approach to artistry centers on repurposing Soviet-era cotton fabric stretch ceilings as his canvas of choice. In a world where materials are often discarded thoughtlessly, Mikava sees these ceilings as vessels of history, carrying the weight of generations' stories, emotions, and memories.

What distinguishes Mikava's work is the profound connection he forges between his canvas and its past. These stretch ceilings, witnesses to countless moments, retain the imprints of their previous inhabitants, each footprint and whisper etched into the fabric. When Mikava paints on these canvases, he feels a deep sense of responsibility to honor their heritage, allowing the canvas itself to guide his hand and convey its own narrative through his art.

At the core of Mikava's artistic philosophy lies the belief that the most powerful expressions emerge from the fusion of different materials and mediums. He strives to create art that not only ignites the imagination but also transcends time, evoking profound emotions in viewers. Each piece Mikava creates tells a story, not only of his vision but also of the rich histories embedded within the materials he employs.
