Her mother’s boundless curiosity and zest for life ignited her journey into the world of art. Growing up, she had the privilege of experiencing diverse cultures, languages, and people, profoundly influencing her artistic perspective.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Milena Arango was born in Cali, Colombia, in 1978. Because of her mother’s studies, Milena grew up traveling in her childhood and later, as an adult, decided that was the turn she needed in her work. She graduated from Visual Arts in Pontificia Universidad Javeriana in 2001 and then took a journey in theater for a few years.
She’s a passionate and dedicated artist, always finding new ways to keep her work dynamic and motivated. To keep this up, she travels to different art residencies worldwide to keep her inspiration high. In recent years, her work has been followed by psychoanalytic therapy, which relates her relationship with her mother and her communication with nature.
