Miron Milic is a Croatian artist, illustrator and designer, recently started getting a lot of attention with his big illustrative outdoor murals. These large scale works are logical sequel to his previous work and practice. By drawing and painting everything that exists, from animals, nature, landscapes to items or people, Miron spent most of his life showing the world around him through his own artistic filter. Focused on human existence and the ways we interact with the world around us, creating art is his way of finding answers to most crucial questions he comes across. With an early support of his family, he soon grew fond of works of artists such as Toulouse-Lautrec, Durer, Van Gogh, Hogharth or Goya, and later in his life discovered the works of Tom of Finland, Robert Crumb, Otto Dix, Georg Grosz, Raymond Pettibon or Jeff Wall.
Miron started getting involved in street art after numerous rejections from the galleries, and instantly fell in love with this movement. He quickly realized his atelier work was not working in the new space and medium he was experiencing. The direct interaction with the public had a great impact on his practice, as he started focusing on making works that have more meaning. His street works are meant to connect to the space they are created in, and to trigger some sort of dialog with by-passers. While trying to touch people, influence them and their emotions, the artist approaches his street work with a lot of dedication, seriousness and responsibility, all due to transparency and equality of the life in the street. The fact that his work is free and in public for everyone to enjoy, combined with the strong bond and level of understanding he experienced between people involved in street art, made Miron instantly fall in love with this art movement.
