"Everything that surrounds us is particles of the universe, spinning in an incomprehensibly great and harmonious dance. A creative person is capable of reflecting visible and hidden images of space in their works, and sometimes even creating their own worlds," Gela believes.

The artist primarily creates paintings using mixed media techniques. Realistic rendering, complemented by various pastes, gold leaf, and other decorative materials, forms the artist's signature style. Decoration is an integral part of Gela’s creative path. Mural painting and interior object decoration, wood carving and artistic wood processing, creation of art objects – this is not a complete list of the artist’s applied activities.
