Mikl is anything but a pliant artist; he is as reserved towards current trends as he is towards his public - he knows and feels his way, and refuses to be dissuaded from it. He remains constant within flux. His timeliness cannot be measured against general developments, but rather in terms of the liveliness and intensity of his work. The decisive elements in his oeuvre he has identified himself, saying that "art alternately and jointly consists of hard work, concentration, a feeling for quality and the fate of discovery."
