Ivana Milosevic discovered a newfound passion for painting, which has since evolved into a second career for her. Drawing on her architectural background and keen interest in urban planning, her paintings feature loose cityscapes with a keen focus on structure and perspective. Milosevic was born in 1972 in Belgrade, Serbia, and holds a master's degree in Architecture from Belgrade University. With over two decades of experience, she is a well-established architect in the Municipality of Trstenik, specializing in urban design and city planning. Additionally, as Deputy Mayor of Trstenik, she is acknowledged for her role in transforming the city into a modern and contemporary living environment.
By using palette knives and brushes to carve the buildings' structures through layers of paint, she creates depth and texture, bringing the city to life on the canvas. Milosevic also adds small shadows of human figures in her work, imbuing it with a sense of familiarity and bustling life.
The artist states, “Through my professional practice, cityscapes are the main theme of my artworks. I explore the structure of the city; explore the construction, visual impressions, through various problems in the city.” Milosevic’s works are filled with the idiosyncratic moods of an urban landscape. Her choice of color accentuates the choices made to create such dynamic spaces.
Milosevic continues both practices in art and architecture and holds workshops internationally.
