Florijan Mićković

Life and work

Florijan Mićković was born in Mostar in 1935. He graduated from University of Zagreb Academy of Fine Arts in 1962, in the class of Antun Augustinčić. He has been member of the Croatian Fine Arts Association since 1963, Bosnian-Herzegovinian Fine Arts Association and is one of the founding members of the HAZU BIH. He lives and works as an independent artist in Mostar. Florijan exhibited in most European countries, Africa, the United States and Canada.

Florijan has created works of undeniable continuity and modern tradition, thus becoming a linking part of modern Bosnia and Herzegovina sculpturing. His interests and the public roles he pursued after graduation reflect a wide variety of sculpting trials, showing a considerable skillfulness in the matter and a level of creativity that could serve as a landmark in his past, present and future work environment - in Herzegovina.

Unfortunately, in the 1990s overridden by the war, not only his work was hampered and slowed down, but he also lost his studio, together with the pieces he had been collecting for his major one-man-show. Only fragments of his artistic production can be reconstructed today by means of scarce, often damaged documentation, but Florijan Mićković’s relentless, post-war activity has enabled him to make up for some of the losses. He has been working with a youthful drive, in his mature age and under different conditions, not only to fill in the void in his work, but also to open new opportunities, to experiment.
