Her powerful color use and bold layers of paint function to achieve a distinct energy with oil, acrylic and other mixed mediums. A Los Angeles native with strong European roots, Milanesi constantly finds inspiration in her surroundings. Following the lead of highly acclaimed artists, namely Jonas Wood, Gerhard Richter, Leroy Neiman and Yves Klein, Milanesi aims to capture the intimate relationship between subject and artist with a straightforward style. While apparently simple at first glance, her work presents a simultaneous exploration of the contemporary that reoccurs showing concepts of newness and practices of the past.
