Milena is a Canadian artist, born in former Yugoslavia, working primarily in watercolor. Her practice explores memory, identity, and embodiment through images that move between presence and fragmentation.

Shaped by migration and cultural displacement, her work reflects the tension of growing up between Eastern European heritage and Western influence, searching for continuity across languages, places, and bodies.

Working often from memory and life rather than photographs, she privileges felt experience over fidelity. In a medium associated with control and delicacy, she disrupts expectation through scale, palette, and gesture, allowing forms to shift, dissolve, and reassemble.

Her background in psychology, Japanese language and culture, and fashion design informs a practice grounded in perception, structure, and the constructed nature of the image.
