Two key moments, early on in the project, included (1) a visit to Michelangelo’s house in Florence and (2) seeing Giacometti’s work at the National Portrait Gallery, London. The latter inspired Bašić to begin using a pictorial language that involved working with simple lines, shapes and colours. This early work sparked the series herein.
