Painting Artwork by Gela Mikava Mixed media on linen canvas. "Carnivores & Herbivores" In this series, I explore the fragile yet relentless tension between two opposing forces—predators and prey, dominance and submission, power and vulnerability. These works are not mere depictions of the natural order but a reflection of the structures that shape our existence—social, political, and existential. Architecture, rigid and imposing, emerges as a silent force of control, while organic, fluid figures twist and dissolve beneath it, struggling for space, for breath, for survival. The contrast between these elements reveals the unspoken rules governing our world—the quiet violence embedded in civilization, the primal instincts buried beneath constructed realities. The bodies in my paintings do not belong to individuals; they are specters of collective experience, echoes of submission and defiance. Boundaries blur—who hunts, and who is hunted? In a world designed for conques
