- One of Mikolji’s top quotes is “you cannot protect what you don’t know exists”. He’d like to make it more difficult for a person to throw garbage into a river after having seen his work.
- He says that his sister had canvas and oil paintings in a closet that she did not use. One day, the young Mikolji decided to use everything she kept and began to paint.
- Mikolji’s work can be defined as geometric abstractionism. It mainly consists of aquatic, underwater photographs, paintings and drawings. His photographic language is closely related to light and visions of the underwater world of rivers.
- There is a notable interest in Mikolji to use the best, the highest quality. Maybe therein lies his success and reach.
- Mikolji did not know that his passion was underwater photography until he met Oliver Lucanus, who asked him to take him on an expedition through the Venezuelan Amazon to make a book that he later published.

Or, share something about the Wild Aquarium movement
River explorer Ivan #Mikolji takes you on interesting freshwater journeys to secret locations in tropical jungles recreating the habitats of your tropical fish in an aquarium, using only natural elements found in their habitat. Find his new book at https://www.mikolji.com/new-book/ #MikoljiBook
Wild Aquarium is a movement within the fish-keeping hobby which involves visiting an aquatic habitat such as a lake, river or stream and setting up a temporal aquarium in situ with the aim of mimicking the habitats seen on the spot. For the creation of a Wild Aquarium, only materials and animals collected from the specific habitat are used and are usually returned to their original setting once complete.
Ivan’s Wild Aquarium video series started the Wild Aquarium movement. Ivan’s ingenious idea of creating an ephemeral aquarium using only the materials found around a body of water has been applauded and emulated throughout the world. Once completed, all materials are promptly returned to nature. This has encouraged people around the world to take their hobby from inside their homes to the outside world, further encouraging ecological interaction.
