BORN IN MUNICH 1986, MILANA SCHOELLER LIVES AND WORKS IN STOCKHOLM. AFTER THE COMPLETION OF HER MSC IN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ST. ANDREWS, SHE ATTENDED CLASSES AT ATELIER STOCKHOLM AND STARTED A MENTORSHIP PROGRAM WITH THE SWEDISH ARTIST PETER SKÖLD. MILANA’S WORK’S ARE IMBUED WITH AN UNDERLYING POLITICAL COMMENTARY IN RELATION TO SUSTAINABILITY, BE IT ABOUT SOCIAL PARADIGM SHIFTS, POLLUTION, CHANGING CLIMATES OR DENIAL. WITHIN THE CLEAR STRUCTURES OF HER PAINTINGS LIE THE DEEP INNER DIALOGUE OF THE ARTIST WITH THESE CONFLICTS.
