On his website it reads: Artem non odit nisi ignarus. Art is not for the ignorant. El Arte no es para el ignorante.
For this artist history exists as a vertical continuum rather than a linear plane. From his early interest in outer space to his first exposure to the careless unearthing of Roman artifacts outside of the National Museum of Belgrade, Mihaylovich has immersed himself in the study of the vertical strata of time. Reaching into a classical past, he has built a collection of potsherds and sculpture fragments from Greek and Roman antiquity - currently with over 2,500 objects - that inspire the subject matter of his paintings. Often appearing in partially obscured form or as blacked out silhouettes, these images, based on his collection, are intended as a stand-in for extinct cultures, which for Mihaylovich represent a part of our collective present.
