"Vulcano" Painting

Milos Miljkovic is a Serbian painter of the younger generation,born in Gnjilane in 1992. Professor Djordje Stanojevic says about Milos's painting:One of the most important factors in the process of creation is time. It is the motive force that can turn anything into gold. But it does not happen by itself. It is necessary to invest silent and continuous effort every day, where the result of that we carry within ourselves, has the opportunity to see the light of day. Not when we want it, but when it is the right time. Milos Miljkovic works continuously. His work process is similar to a ritual that is repeated every day. Haruki Murakami says:"If we shave at the same time every day, that routine will become our deep philosophy".This is exactly what happens in the works of Milos Miljkovic. After college, where he worked in analytical and constructivist figuration, through drawings, he now works in abstraction. He initiated this process relying on the paintings of Gerhard Richter. It seemed as if he would soon abandon this process and move on, but he stayed in it. He persisted, and those paintings became better and better, clearer and clearer. In a conversation with him, I realized that he ritually works on them every day. He has his own daily work hours. In this way, a"spiritual funnel"is created that has an ever-increasing focus. Sava Sumanovic had a similar process with his Sid landscapes. He persisted in the same thing, for a long time and persistently, and the paintings themselves became clearer and clearer. In the end, it is no longer Gerhard Richter. It is something new, purified and strong. Persistence and time create all these characteristics. The serult is getting better. The series of his abstract paintings is there as an inevitability, as something that had to be created."A rose never asks why,"is an old Persian proverb. These paintings are like nature. They arise from themselves and proclaim themselves to the world.They exist silently, persistently and continuously. Milos took all these characteristics from nature.He is a daily walker. He has a need to become part of its flow by walking through nature. Through this process, he learns from nature, recognizes its silent principles and applies them in his art. This silence is rare in contemporary art. And it is so missing. In it, and only in it, can a being develop from itself and show itself to the world.
