A selection of work from a personal project by artist Mihael Bađun. Born in Varaždin, Croatia and currently living and working there, Bađun earned a Master’s in Art Education from the University of Zagreb in 2021. His work spans comics, painting, and illustration. “Folk” is a series about the history of the northwestern region of Croatia based on stories told to Bađun by his grandmother. Often featuring fantastical elements such as witches, dwarves, and spirits, the project addresses the generational gap and the inevitability of transience, demonstrating how experience, time, environment, and personal narrative shape an individual.
