Mirjana Mihać (1924–2006) is an artist who has been creating and working throughout her life, and yet she has remained outside the already mentioned main currents of highly modernist painting and is unexplored from the point of view of art history. Immediately after finishing her studies, she was hired as an assistant, and then as a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts. At the beginning of the sixth decade of the last century, she worked equally in the field of graphics and painting and built her own artistic narrative of intimate, symbolic content. Although she never stopped painting, her increasing confinement in the hermetic circle of family, friends and students is noticeable. Among her closest friends is Ksenija Divjak, with whom she shared her tendency towards almost complete withdrawal from the world. Hence, the work depicting Ksenija Divjak in her studio is a rare scene from the life of a lonely creator and a testimony of great friendship.
