“Green in the city”, 50x40cm, acrylic on canvas, 2017
“Artists often have a deep connection with certain colors. In the case of Sanja Milenkovic, the grass is so green that you can smell it.” Saatchi Gallery curator Rebecca Wilson.
Each city has a character, a dominant color and shapes. Some cities are more masculine, others more feminine. They almost seem like people, those people with a great personality. The exhibition 'Movements' is the selection of recent works by Sanja Milenkovic, where the artist discovers the infinite possibilities of representing the city. It focuses on daily but complex details, starting from the figurative, to reach partially abstract surfaces. Human figures have an important role, they can move and connect nature with architecture. I like the moment when the painting is changing and suddenly there is a perfect disorder and some imaginary conversation between the people. The sensitivity is revealed in the ability to perceive the condition of nature and translate it into images and consonants colours. Perfect mix is achieved between nearly realistic painted human figures and almost abstract environment.
“Artwork ‘Roma’ is an urban cityscape of antique city of Rome painted in such a contemporar y way.” art collector

The Story
Many Friends and Artlovers ask me about my new works so I decided to create my own Art Magazine. The name is ‘Contemporary Paintings’ and this is my first issue! Here you can find my new artworks, about my current solo show, some good Art quotes and contacts as well. I am planning to write 3 times a year and try to keep you up to date. For now is just online!
