Exuberance of life energy, inexhaustible, mostly in its core, human, in its being, play and search particular motor activity which later he forms with spectrum of interests toward which he tended by inner vocation. With Mensur Porovic all that processes manifests in personal way. Painter through his inner vocation, pedagogue through his professional commitment, he uses his vitality in abundance to create and educate.

He creates his painting forms, his arts from one side, and on other side he tends to find a path to pure young soul, which hide in itself creative potencies, freeing them from starting clumsiness and enabling for creative act.

His play, his hobby, he reduces into objects of direct use and exactly there he is tempting his creative possibilities in mosaic formulations of play. Basic formulation he found in tables like an object of use.

Standing on its table legs with which surface is withstanding, top is offered for working and creating. Our insights into these artistic plays started from periphery part, outside border in elliptic form, made from metal, then he built mosaic ring where width depends from dimensions given in advance, and finally he goes into free remaining space and constructs wooden surface. In that point it starts interlacing of useful and esthetic, they shine energies which formulating uniqueness in which useful getting characteristics of esthetic and beautiful, and mosaic becoming useful.

In giving shape to wooden table artist announcing his presence, inweave his energy and his creative potency. Wooden surface is not anymore just that, it is becoming intersection of substance secret from which it is built and secret creative act which brought toward relief of matter secret.

If Porovic's tables or installation, that little oases of dream, we put in context of time in which they are created, and if we search origin of biggest part of material from which his mosaics are built, and that are pieces of panes which have been destroyed by demented passed war, then his mosaics got also some particular historical dimension.

Stylization and their resuming into different compositions, even circular formulations (la rondelle), becoming final cadence with which Mensur Porovic enliven mosaic and imposed it into orbit of creative interest, even it is believed that he is not able to express all complexity of modern man, and that he can find its meaning only in decorative. It is possible that kind of understanding he based on total truth.

Although, Mensur Porović with his mosaic work, with not excluding its decorativeness, entered at least partially, inside human being layer and expressed some truth about him.
