"Metamorphosis of the Soul: Butterflies Within" is a captivating, large-scale original painting by contemporary Georgian artist Gela Mikava. Measuring 150x130 cm, this powerful expressive artwork explores the complex layers of human psychology, identity, and inner transformation.

Through bold brushstrokes, vibrant contrast, and a hauntingly beautiful double-vision portrait, Mikava masterfully captures the tension between exposure and concealment. The dark, enigmatic butterflies swarming across the subject's face symbolize both vulnerability and spiritual rebirth, breaking through a striking pink background and structured vertical red stripes.

This monumental canvas is a perfect centerpiece for private collections and modern interiors, offering a deep, thought-provoking narrative and an undeniable visual presence.
