Artwork details

"Still Here, Still Fading: Erased Identity" is a profound, deeply conceptual original painting by contemporary artist Gela Mikava. Measuring 100x80 cm, this dark, neo-expressionist artwork stands as a powerful commentary on existentialism, memory, and the dissolution of identity.

Dominated by a heavy, atmospheric black background, the central composition features a ghostly, fragmented shape suggesting a face that is being washed away or forgotten. Adding a raw, literary layer to the piece, the artist has scratched haunting, inverted text at the top: "TO HAVE A FACE / I USED TO HAVE A FACE / STILL HERE STILL FADING". This text acts as a voice from the shadows, echoing themes of isolation and transition. The chaotic, expressive texture of the fading silhouette is sharply contrasted by the structured, rhythmic vertical stripes at the base.

This text-based abstract portrait is an extraordinary, museum-quality statement piece. It is perfect for discerning contemporary collectors who appreciate text art, dark aesthetics, and emotionally raw narratives.
