"Fine-Arts" prints on paper
It is a process of printing on art paper using very high-quality pigment inks and printed in very high definition. Its level of conservation is exceptional (more than 100 years), its quality, depth, and richness of nuances exceeds the classic photo print on Argentic paper.
Glossy finish
Apart from its exceptional thickness, the fiber paper is composed of an alpha-cellulose base without acid and it is covered with barium sulphate, and a microporous layer absorption enhancing pigments during printing. A pure white color, non-yellowing to light, this paper is especially designed for resistance and aging. It is used by major museums worldwide as it offers excellent resolution, rendering deep and dense colors.

Mixed media on canvas & hanging element
2025
A fragile figure hovers in the center — suspended, shaped, repeated.
Below her, shadows stretch across a cold, forest-like underlayer.
“You made me,” the text repeats, not just as an accusation, but as an echo of history.
This work reflects the layered nature of identity, memory, and power.
Who speaks? And who listens?
🗂️ Curatorial Note (extended installation version)
This work is no longer a single voice, but a conversation between surfaces, between time layers, between being formed and being haunted.
The smaller painting — a fragile, expressive portrait accompanied by the repeated phrase “you made me” — is suspended like an offering or a relic. It floats over a larger canvas that evokes forest, ruins, or memory. Faint figures emerge in the background, barely visible. They might be past versions of the central subject, or unseen forces that “made” her.
The installation suggests that identity is never formed in isolation. Beneath every “I” lies a complex ecology of others — ghosts, systems, generational imprints.

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.
