“The main inspiration for my work is the observation of reality and my imagination’s experience of the world. I often incorporate tautology, inconvenient truths, mixed symbolism, hidden meanings, forgotten ideologies and various ideas such as ‘progress’ – the sum of all these things, thinking and observation is the underpinning of all my work.” – Mihael Milunović
