Scritti dall'azienda

Milena Makani (b. 1984 in Sofia, Bulgaria) is a German contemporary painter based in London, UK. Marked by gestural and lyrical abstraction, Makani’s deeply introspective paintings depict colourful, abstract anatomic and psychological inner landscapes characterised by layered textures, fluid forms and complex gradients, inviting viewers into a contemplative space where feeling and exploration of self take precedence over form. Living with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and permanent pain, Makani’s work gives a distinct visual language to the complexities of the human condition and the molecules and emotions that connect us all. Rooted in curiosity and guided by an intuitive connection to her inner world, she investigates the colourful facets of her lived experience and themes of resilience, energy, serenity, fragility, stoicism and joy. Utilising the unique attributes of various types of acrylics, watercolours and inks and their interactive properties on rare mineral stone sheets, Makani’s painting practice blends control and organic process in a striking balance between intention, spontaneity and manipulation. Makani’s work has been exhibited in the United Kingdom, Bulgaria and Iceland and her paintings are featured in international publications and private collections across the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Bulgaria, Egypt, the United States and Canada.Leggi di più
