ABOUT THE ARTWORK

In 2023, a canvas from this series was presented at the Hessink Live Auction along with works by Andy Warhol, Banksy, and other prominent artists. The artist was nominated as a young artist. To view the results, visit Artnet and Mutual Art. "The Bijouterie" Abstract art painting by Gela Mikava delves into society's obsession with wealth and luxury through the representation of earrings and precious stones as prominent elements in the artwork. These symbols serve as visual metaphors for the desire for material possessions and the status they bring. By emphasizing the importance placed on external wealth and opulence, the series challenges viewers to question the underlying motivations and consequences of such pursuits. The portrayal of earrings and precious stones in the artwork draws attention to the allure and glamour associated with these items. They symbolize the embodiment of wealth and luxury in society, often representing success, power, and social standing. However, beneath the surface allure, the series prompts viewers to consider whether material possessions truly hold the significance and fulfillment that they are often attributed. By raising questions about the true value of material possessions, "The Bijouterie" series invites viewers to examine their own relationship with wealth and luxury. It encourages contemplation on the broader implications of a society consumed by materialism and the potential impact on individual well-being, personal relationships, and societal values. Overall, the painting series "The Bijouterie" serves as a catalyst for introspection and critical reflection on materialism's pervasive influence in our lives. It seeks to provoke a reconsideration of our societal values, encouraging a shift towards a more balanced and meaningful existence beyond the superficial pursuit of wealth and luxury.
