According to Stojkovic's talk with art critic Rasko Radovic who helped arrange the exhibition, the painting "refreshes" the 72-year-old artist.

"During the preparation of the exhibition, while the canvases were being hanged, it appeared as if windows were opening in the walls," Radovic said.

"Through which (the paintings), we could catch a glimpse of a world in which everything was fresher and more alive than in our ordinary world."
