Description
Acrylic, watercolour and ink on mineral stone sheet.
'Laminia' depicts three horizontally aligned panels of radiating abstract hints of florals in a dynamic, yet harmonious blend of purples, golds, delicate pinks and fiery oranges. The the initial pigment bursts and subsequent gradient development references organic matter and movement. This painting stands out with its skillful use of color transitions and the ethereal quality of its triptych composition.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
This unique, original painting is created with highest quality archival and lightfast acrylics, watercolours and inks on a mineral stone sheet.
Titled, dated and signed on the backside of the artwork. A signed Certificate of Authenticity is enclosed.
The painting is supplied unframed to ensure maximum protection during shipping and full framing flexibility. The artist recommends unglazed framing for optimal enjoyment of the artwork, as standard glazing distracts with reflections and anti-reflective glazing tends to distort colours.
About the unique surface:
Mineral stone sheets are made from calcium carbonate (limestone) mixed with a small amount of organic resin, combining the luxurious texture of mineral stone with the pliability of paper. Unlike traditional paper, this surface is not sensitive to humidity and does not deform or buckle when moist. Furthermore, the mineral stone sheet adopts stained glass properties when lit from the back, transforming the painting. Mineral stone sheets do not contain wood, do not require deforestation and are considerably more environmentally friendly than canvas and traditional pulp-based paper.
ARTIST STATEMENT:
“My practice explores the shifting boundaries between presence and absence, where memory, perception and sensation converge and dissolve. Living with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and permanent pain deeply informs my awareness of fragility, resilience, gratitude and the capacity for joy. I combine acrylics, watercolours and inks on mineral stone sheets to construct layered, fluid environments inviting introspection. Each painting acts as a threshold, reflecting the viewer's inner landscape and shifting with their emotional state. I aim to offer not resolution, but a contemplative experience that invites quiet exploration of the complexity of being." — Milena Makani
Presentation
Milena Makani, born in 1984 in Sofia, Bulgaria, is a German contemporary painter based in London, UK. Marked by gestural and lyrical abstraction, Makani's deeply psychological abstract paintings depict colourful inner landscapes. The characteristic layered textures, fluid forms, gradients and contrasts of her work have a distinctive visual language, inviting viewers into a space where feeling and exploration take precedence over form.
Utilizing the unique attributes of various types of acrylics, watercolours and inks and their interactive properties on a mineral stone sheet, Makani blends control and spontaneity in her painting practice through the interplay between intention, organic process and manipulation. The unusual stone sheet surface allows fluid application and layering of mediums and also offers a remarkable transformation of the works when lit from the front versus the back.
Makani lives with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, a chronic, incurable condition and the source of constant pain and various hidden disabilities. In a therapeutic, transformative process, her works address the visceral, cerebral and spiritual to channel mindfulness, gratitude and energy amid the complexities of the human condition. Guided by an intuitive connection to her inner world and rooted in curiosity and emotional interpretation of her lived experience, Makani investigates themes such as resilience, serenity, energy, joy, stoicism and fragility.
The German artist has exhibited her work in the United Kingdom, Bulgaria and Iceland and her paintings are featured internationally in private collections across the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Bulgaria, Egypt, the United States and Canada.
