FASO Collector Recommends: Milena Guberinic
Biography
Milena is an internationally exhibited, award-winning visual artist born in the former Yugoslavia and based in Canada. Her studio practice is shaped by graduate study in Psychology, Japanese language and culture, and Fashion Design, alongside sustained independent study, specialized workshops, and self-directed research. It is informed by early experiences of loss, migration, and displacement, and by ongoing negotiations with illness and memory. She works primarily in watercolor, ink, and mixed media.
Milena’s work is regularly selected for international juried exhibitions including the Royal Watercolour Society Open (UK), the Canadian Society of Painters in Watercolours’ International Open Water, Fabriano in Acquarello (Italy), and International Watercolor Masters (UK), among others. Her paintings have been featured in Splash 26 and Splash 27: The Best of Watercolor, Artists Magazine, and Art Avenue, and have received honors from Art & Color 365, BoldBrush, and the Federation of Canadian Artists. She has also served as a judge for the International Watercolor Society-Canada. She is an Elected Member of the Society of Canadian Artist and Exhibiting Member of the Federation of Canadian Artists.
In addition to her studio practice, Milena works as an illustrator for fantasy publications, including Dave Arneson’s Blackmoor: Age of the Wolf and novels by Thomas B. Matthews. She is also a sought-after educator, teaching through established online programs.
Working primarily in watercolor, ink, and mixed media, Milena uses material instability as both metaphor and structure. Her practice embraces fragmentation, absence, and perceptual uncertainty.
Artist Statement
I rarely begin a painting knowing exactly what it will become. A fragment of reference, something remembered, a doll, or an imagined place is often the start. From there, I follow the painting rather than trying to control it, allowing meaning to emerge through the process of making.
Many of my images grow from memories, but are not illustrations of lived experience. They live between observation and invention and entangle remembered moments, emotions, and imagined forms. Figures, dolls, and invented or remembered landscapes act as stand-ins for ideas that are difficult to describe directly.
Watercolor is central to this process. Its fluidity and unpredictability allow forms to dissolve, shift, and reappear, echoing the way memory itself changes over time. I am interested in creating paintings that leave room for uncertainty and personal interpretation and invite viewers to bring their own experiences to the work.
