16-Year-Old Artist Paints Her Wildest Dreams
Young artist Dimitra Milan grew up surrounded by art. Four years ago, when she had just begun painting, her parents opened Arizona’s Milan Art Institute and allowed her to attend any classes she wanted.
From classical oil painting techniques to a contemporary mixed style, Dimitra’s skills grew along with her desire to paint. She then started home-schooling and dedicated all of her free time to painting. Today, 16-year-old Dimitra Milan is considered a famous professional artist.
From her interview, she is asked about the relationship of women and animals/nature and the relationship it signifies. Her answer, breath-taking.
"I paint women and animals/nature together to create a dreamy atmosphere and to give you a feeling that anything is possible. I think of each animal more as a symbol, rather than just the animal itself. I think about the function and attributes of the animal and use it as a symbol. I often like to paint animals that are traditionally viewed as dangerous or predators, or animals that simply have a dangerous edge.
I feel like the women who represent me or the viewer have an opportunity to overcome, or to be a part of, a grand supernatural adventure. Sometimes these relationships between the woman and the animal represent our relationship with the one who created all of us. In my paintings, these predators are not dangerous, they don’t bite and they don’t sting."
