Abstract Figurative
Mila Veljaca
Mila Veljac'a is known for her figurative paintings and drawings depicting figures, interiors and landscapes in an often surrealistic setting, combining scenes of everyday life with the absurd in an unprecedented way. Mila Veljac'a is a visual artist originally from Croatia. She studied at art academies in Croatia, Vienna, Salzburg and Stuttgart and for several years passed on her expertise as a lecturer in fine arts.
Mila Veljac'a's wide-ranging oeuvre includes oil paintings on canvas and works on paper. Her focus is on painting, which shows a preference for figurative and abstract elements.
Mila Veljac'a's complex and mysterious visual worlds are located somewhere between reality and fiction, the possible and the impossible.
In her works, the artist enables a dialogue about modern man, his environment and human relationships. The result is scenes full of suggestive power that emotionally involve the viewer. For several years now, Mila has been working on natural linen as a painting surface. In many of her paintings, she allows the material to become visible and dissolves painted surfaces again. The process of destruction is therefore an elementary part of her work. This gives the different levels that come to the surface an extraordinary three-dimensionality.
Mila Veljac'a's works are represented in public and private collections. She has achieved success in renowned galleries, art houses and at art fairs. Private collectors, public institutions and banks around the world have acquired her works.
Today Mila Veljac'a lives as a freelance artist with her family in Vorarlberg (Austria).
