Small Abstract Face — The Face Between Numbers

In The Face Between Numbers, Gela Mikava brings the intimacy of a miniature portrait into tension with the impersonal language of counting and classification.

Rows of handwritten numbers move across a muted grey-green surface. Within this repeated notation, dark violet forms suggest eyes, a deep blue mark becomes the nose, and a vivid pink passage defines the mouth. An irregular sweep of white interrupts the face without completely concealing the numerical marks beneath it.

The image exists between recognition and abstraction. Numbers imply order, measurement, and classification, yet their irregular rhythm resists becoming a coherent system. The face is similarly unstable: assembled from only a few expressive marks, it appears to emerge from the very structure that threatens to absorb it.

Painted in acrylic on canvas, the work preserves the visible texture of its support. Its intimate scale invites close observation, allowing subtle shifts of colour, gesture, and surface to carry the emotional weight of the portrait.

Presented in a white frame with a cream mount.
