Academic sculptor Bojan Mavsar was born in Brežice in 1957, and Vrhnika has been his second home for quite some time. The portraits of the writer Ivan Cankar preserved in old photographs soon became his artistic inspiration, among other things, and this motif marked his creative work even more during the period in which the people of Vrhni began to prepare for the commemoration of this year’s centenary of Cankar’s death.
