Milena Mila Celic

I was born in southeastern Europe, in Yugoslavia, where I nurtured a lifelong passion for art. After completing art school, I pursued studies in psychology and the history of art, which deepened my understanding of creativity and human expression. For over 20 years, I dedicated my career to working on youth activism and human rights projects within the nonprofit sector, striving to make a meaningful impact in local community.

After moving to the USA, I rekindled my love for painting. My work spans traditional Byzantine iconography, landscapes, and abstract pieces. Each medium allows me to explore and express different facets of my artistic vision. Additionally, over time I’ve developed a deep passion for photography, an art form I’m continually learning and exploring.

Art remains my sanctuary, a space where history, culture, and emotion converge.
