Oil on cardboard, signed lower right MIODRAG dated 1973 (35 x 45) M Spilliaert: "Talking about MIODRAG is certainly not easy, the character being a long-distance captain who has crisscrossed the oceans of the artistic planet since more than sixty years. One thing is certain: wherever he has gone, in Italy, the United States, Belgium, France, MIODRAG has aroused passion and wonder! His works can be found in particular in the collections of Giuli Andreotti, Sophia Loren, Nathalie Wood, Henry Miller!. The work of MIODRAG is monumental! Famous galleries in Rome, Florence, Dallas, Miami, Paris and Brussels have, in the past, consecrated his talent. This painter has known periods very different in his artistic life. Whether oil painting, screen printing, charcoal or pastel, this artist totally masters his media and his materials! Lop art or optical art, of which he is one of the founding pillars, owes him a lot. MIODRAG works alone, brush, and gives us his sublime combinations of geometric shapes, shadows and light, virtual movement."
