Painting Artwork by Gela Mikava mixed media on linen canvas. Dance of the Wolves is a contemporary allegorical painting series that explores the primal forces driving human behavior through the symbolic figure of the wolf. Blending abstract expression and dynamic figuration, the works depict wolves not as wild creatures of nature alone, but as reflections of our inner instincts—loyalty and betrayal, hunger and restraint, individuality and the collective. Each canvas captures a tense choreography—a visual "dance"—where wolves appear locked in movement: circling, confronting, collapsing, or rising. This motion embodies both the beauty and brutality of survival, the unspoken language of power, and the delicate balance between dominance and vulnerability. The series invites viewers to question: are we watching animals, or are we seeing ourselves? In a world shaped by invisible hierarchies and instinctual decisions, Dance of the Wolves becomes a mirror held up to society
