Street Dogs – Shadows of Existence

Street Dogs – Shadows of Existence (2024) is an original painting by Gela Mikava, measuring 120 × 120 cm. Street Dogs – Shadows of Existence explores visibility and disappearance, survival and neglect. A childlike figure fades into darkness while a street dog introduces themes of resilience and abandonment. An obscured presence behind them adds to the painting’s uncertain atmosphere. The work connects figurative abstraction with questions of vulnerability, urban isolation, memory and identity.
