Daniela Milinikovich

Biographical Info Daniela is an American artist living in Chicago, who specializes in painting and drawing. She was born in Chicago, middle child of three. Her parents emigrated from Serbia with their families, met in Chicago and married young. Like many immigrants in the 1970s, they sought out the American dream, desperately wanting to give their children a great life with more opportunities than they themselves had growing up. Coming from a bilingual and dual culture home, Daniela often struggled with her identity as a child and teenager. As she grew older however, she came to appreciate those differences; they made her more curious and accepting of other cultures and other people, and now she is grateful to have had such a unique upbringing. Today Daniela is a working artist and educator, instilling intrinsic appreciation of the arts in young minds, and helping students to develop their own artistic endeavors.

Short Description Daniela’s work is about the human connection; our relationship with nature, with each other and perhaps most importantly, with ourselves.. Her style has been described as whimsical and serene, with a dark and playful twist. What unites her work is her curiosity and ease in shifting between the worlds of reality and the imagination. Playing with literal and figurative messages takes viewers away from black and white answers and proposes all the possibilities of gray.
