The Bijouterie Series – GELA MIKAVA
Contemporary Abstract Art | Luxury & Materialism | Fine Art Collectible

In 2023, a painting from "The Bijouterie" series was featured at Hessink Live Auction, exhibited alongside artworks by Andy Warhol, Banksy, and other world-renowned artists. This milestone marked GELA MIKAVA as one of the most promising emerging artists in contemporary abstract art.

"The Bijouterie" series is a bold exploration of wealth, luxury, and material obsession, symbolized through earrings, gemstones, and lavish adornments. Through layered textures, dynamic compositions, and striking contrasts, MIKAVA challenges the viewer to reconsider society's relentless pursuit of status and opulence.

The precious stones and jewelry motifs in these paintings serve as both objects of desire and symbols of societal illusion—representing power, success, and exclusivity, yet also raising questions about the true value of material wealth. Beneath the surface beauty, MIKAVA invites a deeper reflection: does material possession define fulfillment, or is it merely a fleeting illusion?

Each artwork in this series is a highly collectible contemporary painting, sought after by art investors and collectors worldwide. Featured in private collections and international art fairs, MIKAVA’s work continues to push the boundaries of ultra-contemporary art.
