Artificial Flowers

by Gela Mikava · T'bilisi, GE

This large abstraction, titled "Artificial Flowers," invites contemplation on beauty and emotion in a world of endless reproduction. Created with a captivating blend of oil, watercolor, spray paint, and acrylic on vintage soviet-era fabric, this mixed media piece offers a unique texture and depth. The deliberate layering of materials and techniques results in a vibrant abstract composition that is both visually striking and intellectually engaging, pushing the boundaries of contemporary and conceptual art. The artwork delves into the essence of what endures when surface and replication dominate. It’s a modern exploration that questions the authenticity of manufactured beauty, presenting a powerful statement on perception and value. The use of purple and violet hues evokes a sense of artificiality yet remains deeply evocative, transforming the idea of decorative or commercial flowers into something profoundly artistic.
