Miroslav Lekić: “With my work, I try to process the most diverse segments of life and the environment that surrounds me in different genre forms. The world around us is a colorful mosaic in which nothing is black and white, only comical or only sad. That diversity has always attracted me, and I constantly tried to tell stories that show that reality through different forms”.
