A painter from Novi Sad, one of the most prominent figures among contemporary artists in Vojvodina, he has been continually painting aquarelles since the beginning of the 1950s. He has left behind numerous attempts and creations. His latest aquarelles, all painted and “dried” in the premises of the artist's studio at the Petrovaradin Fortress, are the result of his rich experience which had settled as a sediment through his every single ripping and every single completion of an aquarelle drawing. At the same time, these completed aquarelle pieces of art also prove that Mojak is a painter of individual and recognizable style, and an author of clearly defined creative motivation, an artist capable to break off clear and effective artistic messages...

One line in Mojak's artistic work is determined by those, always possible (existing, actually) moments in man's “drama of humiliation, fall and rise” Dj. Jeftic has indicated to, but it should be noted that neither in his earlier, nor in his later works of art (drawings, pastels and also ceramics) there is any trace of dark clouds of doubt or pessimism. On the contrary. In the mainstream of Mojak’s artistic engagement there is a man who has been given an honourable place of a winner over the powers of evil. The series of these paintings are based on a universal and general theme whose main principle is an everlasting battle between good and evil, light and darkness, fall and rise.

The painter has his own time at his disposal he dives into the depths of man, his soil, man’s soul, his roots, origin and destiny. Using his authentic language of expression, he creates sediment masses, with angles or oval-shaped, archetypes and symbols arranged at the monument-like pedestal or in a procession. These compressed crystallized masses give Mojak's paintings metaphysical strength, strength of symbols and continuance, establishing by their full shape a deep contact with a beholder and influencing him.
At first it is the world of resistance, defiance, duration and withstanding plotted against the oppression in its very old struggle for survival on the very soil where it has been born. The existence in the aquarelles of Petar Mojak is not there in itself, but in the elements and power of the metaphysical, in the layered necessity of the artist with which he observes the world where the human factor and the determination to follow human existence and faith have a decisive role...

... Mojak has always been a searcher and a rebel. An artist who has overcome the temptation of the sirens symbolizing his surrounding and pertaining mentality has always been in search for some wider, and therefore deeper spans and reasons for man's living and his misfortune which he seemed to have seen in his dreams as well. His protest, his weakness, and even his confusion Mojak has for years been expressing as an aggressive scream, a disharmony of colours and aggressive dynamics of his composition. There was something almost suicidal in his artistic expression, in his vigour whose one of the most significant goals, it seemed, was a wish not to be liked and to remain deeply rooted in all questions that have never been answered and on the other side of the correspondence.

... That torment, that struggle and the man amidst it have remained a dynamic epicenter of the painter's interest and his experience of the world surrounding him; in the several past years, however, something nice and good happened in this aquarelles, which certainly does not suggest that the world has become better and nicer, but that Mojak has certainly become a wiser and a more lucid observer of life, and why not tell it quite simply – a better painter...
