Dina Milovanov Art

Dina Milovanov is a contemporary Canadian artist who works in the genres of figurative and abstract art. She is also a painter of custom portraits, which have received critical acclaim for their expressiveness and craftsmanship. Trained in the tradition of classical figurative painting at the San Francisco Academy of Art, in her work she combines a respect for the craft of the old masters with a conviction that realist art should not be boring. Her abstract paintings touch on classical motives and explore how our cultural narratives continue to shape our "radically modern" lives. In her figurative works, she attempts to reconcile the transience and contingency of everyday being with the idea of a portrait as a solemn look into posterity.
