Statement:
“My artistic practice is mostly influenced by the experiences of growing up in the Balkans, especially during the post-war years, family migrations between the former Yugoslav states, as well as the ideas of memory politics. Through painting, video and installations the body of work I am developing is focusing on the specificity of the female struggle in my region, with a particular emphasis on vulnerability within the context of complex and often contradictory narratives.”
Milica has had numerous solo and group exhibitions in Europe. In 2023, she featured in group exhibitions at the Eugster in Belgrade and the Watermelon Extravaganza group show at Sandwich Gallery in Romania. Among here solo exhibitions, in 2021 Cover me with sunsets, at KC MAGACIN in Belgrade.
