About this artwork
The painting "Silent Return" was created as part of my ongoing project "Déjà Vu".
A familiar image returns, but altered to such an extent that recognition becomes uncertain. I am drawn to the fragile moment when memory still retains form, but similarity begins to dissolve. This work emerges from this in-between space—where what we think we know becomes something else, and where meaning is conveyed by intuition, not resemblance.
The shell-like head… suggests both refuge and enclosure: a private space, a guarded memory, a space that simultaneously protects and isolates. The figure remains silent, withdrawn, almost animalistic, like the cat sitting nearby.
I am interested in the tension between presence and absence, surface and depth, recognition and alienation. By reworking a familiar Ingres image "Portrait De Madame Duvaucey" in surreal interpretation, I want it to emerge in our memory as something fantastical and unreal.

« I don't know who guides my brush when I paint. Sometimes I feel like an otherworldly force takes over. »
Jemal Gugunava, a Georgian-born artist trained at the Tbilisi State Academy of Arts, is currently based in the UK and Prague, Czechia.
He paints whatever captures his attention, enjoying a moment — urban landscapes, nature, intriguing objects, human faces, and conceptual figurative compositions. Despite the diversity of his subject matter, all Jemal’s works share an internal unity that goes far beyond simple stylistic continuity. This coherence comes not only from his distinctive brushwork, but also from the emotion and persistent philosophical undercurrent that runs through his paintings. He allows geometric lines and clear contours to emerge almost instinctively—a fusion of deeply rooted Eastern European visual traditions with the vibrant, angular elements of abstract art and postmodernism, where different artistic languages often intersect and coexist.
His credo: Paint what you love — let neither trend nor anyone dictate.
