The man from your photo is alive and well, his name is Miron Milić, and he is very active as an artist in Croatia. I know this man personally, because his atelier is in the same place in Zagreb where my circus training gym is, and that is Autonomous Culture Center Medika. The mural was made in 2012, and here's an article backing it up:

Hope this helps. :)

Ugodan dan vam želim!
