A dark brown sculpture, composed vertically and processed both-sided. A stylised figural composition with anthropologic and zoomorphic motifs – combined figures of an animal and a man (differentiated head and limbs with a single body). A human figure is hugging with hands the elongated neck of the animal, while the animal head is positioned above the human. Frontal aspect, simplicity of expression and archaic approach to form were unconsciously achieved. From black, age-old tree-trunks the artist liberated the form, polished it to brightness, imprisoned it and emphasized its organic essence, thus completing what the nature had begun. Everything is stylised nearly to the bare, basic primordial form, and reduced with the pronounced sense of measure, which was known only to authentic artists of primitive cultures. More than five-decade-long instinctive and creative work of this artist showed the force of his authentic and original forms and the connection between primordial and modern sensibility of artistic expression (Marica Vračević).
