Created during the pandemic, Milenna's newest body of work, entitled 'Memoir', is exactly what its title suggests: a collection of memories written in brush strokes and colors. The paintings investigate loneliness, isolation and self discovering. In this series the artist continues exploring the deconstruction of figurative painting, but now revealing on the paintings each step of its creation. Each one of them is created on top of an older artwork, but instead of hiding the original layers, the artist purposely scrapes the surfaces so they can sip through the new images and construct the new compositions. Milenna is now returning to her training by including figurative drawing into her new paintings. Leaving parts of the images in its raw stages and parts filled with her trade mark vibrant colors, Milenna is creating a journal of her painting process and the people she's portraying.

Brazil
A generation X’er who has defied the odds, Milenna C. Saraiva is a Brazilian visual artist with a studio in the metropolis of São Paulo. A graduate with a Fine Arts degree from Santa Monica College, in Los Angeles, Milenna apprenticed as a painter, under The Mentor Program to Linda Lopes, Nathan Ota, Mark Trujillo, Sharon Kagan and Ron Davis. In 2012 she earned a Post Graduation degree in contemporary painting at Sao Paulo’s University FAAP (Fundação Armando Alvares Penteado). Milenna’s techniques have evolved from tightly wrought pencil drawings into looser, layered canvases of textured and richly hued imagery, integrated through quick, sometimes brutal splashes of the palette knife, and through blending, assembling, edging, detailing and scraping off painterly layers.Drawing upon raw emotion, she delves into her subconscious to harness and synthesize the process for recasting conventions of figurative and mural painting through a deliberate pursuit toward abstraction. Relying principally on the free-flowing processes of memory and creative imagination, Milenna eschews painting portraits to capture external likeness. She pursues, instead, the objective of creating a portal to the inner journey of self-exploration. Her current series of portraits examines the construction and deconstruction of identity - self-sacrifice for a higher cause - particularly environmental - even martyrdom. Saraiva has garnered hundreds of commissions both private and corporate, including PayPal, Uber and Nestle and since 2002 has consistently exhibited her work worldwide in both private and public galleries including: The Bergamont Station, The Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery, Katzen Arts Centre in Washington DC, The Peach Gallery in Toronto and Casa Galeria in São Paulo. The artist’s keen sense of how other creative manifestations – music, drama, literature - overlap has transpired into her embrace of art performance. She has reaped almost twenty trophies for live painting competitions, including two national titles for Brazil Art Battle. You can follow Milenna every month by reading her column, ”Art Observed” in the Sao Paulo magazine Revista Circuito.
