The progress of nations and the development of civilizations are measured by their arts. Arts of all kinds are not merely entertainment, decoration, or leisure time, as many believe.
Rather, they are an essential part of human civilization and the lives of peoples. They reflect the image of society and its developments, as they are a true mirror of values, beliefs, and cultural practices.
They also play an important role in building cultural identity, unifying society, recording events, and fostering a sense of belonging. Art is also an important means of self-expression.
It allows individuals to exchange ideas, feelings, and emotions in unconventional ways, transcending linguistic restrictions. Art is also considered a form of human communication, as works of art can connect people of different cultures.
Artist Mileva Stankovic, born in 1991 in Pozarevac, has been interested in art since her early childhood, contemplating things and perceiving the beauty of nature and the environment.
Since she began school, she has used drawing as a means of expressing herself, expressing her feelings and thoughts, and asserting her identity and uniqueness.
Over time, her passion for the materials, tools, and techniques of art, as well as its pioneers and various schools in Serbia and the world, has grown.
She has expressed the surrounding environment, and her paintings aim to express her point of view and present a unique artistic vision that reflects her perceptions of the world around her.
Stankovic studied at the Faculty of Economics and Commerce in Pozarevac, majoring in commerce and tourism. She then enrolled at the Academy of Criminal and Police Studies (now known as the University of Criminal Investigation and Police Studies) in Belgrade in 2010, majoring in professional criminology.
However, her passion and love for art awakened feelings of rebellion within her, and she embarked on the world of drawing, painting, and experimentation with materials, techniques, and subjects.
She sometimes painted landscapes, considering nature as her main source of inspiration, as well as still lives, houses, and boats.
In other paintings, she turned to abstraction and summarizing the canvas in harmonious color spaces.
