About

Ivana Milosevic creates vibrant, yet soothing water landscapes that emphasize color and texture. She uses palette knives and brushes to carve details into layers of paint. They reflect a form of abstraction through the simplification of composition and reduction of all unessential elements. Milosevic pays special attention in her artworks to dispense with any representation of land or sky, only adding silhouettes of people to emphasize the meaning of perspective, the flow of time, and the speed of life. By using expressive brushwork, Milosevic strives to make the viewer feel in the present moment and not in the past.

Ivana Milosevic was born in Serbia in 1972. In 1998 she graduated from Belgrade University with a Master’s degree in Architecture. Since 2000 she was practicing architecture in the Municipality of Trstenik specializing in urban design and city planning. As a deputy Mayor of Trstenik, Ivana transformed the city into a modern and contemporary living environment.

Ivana started painting in 2010. Since then she has exhibited her artworks in group and solo shows in Serbia and internationally. She uses an impasto technique with a palette knife and brushes to create her multi-layered textural artworks.

“Through my professional practice, cityscapes are the main theme of my artworks, I explore the structure of the city, explore the construction, and visual impressions, through various problems in the city. I put layers and layers of oil paint on canvas, trying to rebuild the parts and pieces, life and its beauty!”

Ivana pays special attention in her artworks to the city’s building structures and facades. She adds soothing silhouettes of people to emphasize the meaning of perspective, the flow of time, and the speed of life. By combining architecture and urbanism with figures and crowds, Ivana strives to make the viewer feel in the present moment and not in the past.
