Mihailo has been painting for more than 30 years. He was just 10 years old when he started to learn the basics of painting techniques at the studio of a famous serbian artist. Since then he dedicated himself entirely to painting and sculptures. At the age of 21 he moved to Italy to study Fine Arts at the prestigious Academy of Brera in Milan. Throughout his career, he painted series of urban landscapes, portraits and made sculptures of recycled materials. His recent work explores the fusion of contemporary concepts with traditional paintings. Until now, his work has been shown in numerous solo and group exhibitions and art fairs in Italy and Europe. Currently lives and works between Serbia and Italy.
