David Maljković's works are primarily driven by narrative, yet they are created within specific formal parameters. He investigates the various connections between form and content in art, similar to the relationship between signifier and signified in language. Maljković redefines these concepts across different mediums. When he returns to painting on canvas, he draws inspiration from art history and painting principles. He employs an Impressionist approach where the background and motif fuse together, blurring the lines between the artist and the subject, creating a dynamic interplay of revelation and concealment.
