Where The Dew is Ever Sparkling Painting

Mila Vuko is a contemporary abstract artist living and working in Toronto, Canada. A flirtation between abstraction and figuration, Mila’s work evokes the presence of multiple beings. In an attempt to portray the human experience, Mila’s professional practice began with an introspection of the marriage between the self and the persona. What began as an exploration of the dualities of the self gradually spread into a larger sphere, looking at how this split-self functions and exists in society. A distant intimacy emerges between confused connections, and, unknowing where one begins and ends, there is a paradoxical push-pull between the desire to turn towards and pull away from others. Mila’s work is sold in Canada and the US and was recently selected by Narcity as one of “14 Artists To Follow If You Want To Be Inspired”. Mila had her first experience in curation when she worked for Norman Felix Gallery in 2013. She also organized “Artists for Boston”, a charitable art auction with all proceeds going towards the victims of the Boston bombings and, more recently, as the leading artist in the “Building Hope” charity for Balkan flood relief, she was responsible for contacting Toronto creatives and collecting donations. Since then, Mila has exhibited at several Toronto galleries and fairs, including a 2016 solo show at Black Cat Artspace and participation in both Art Toronto and The Artist Project.
