Showing White Shadows

Born in the former Yugoslavia, Milos Milidrag graduated from the University Of Belgrade with a Master of Fine Arts and taught at the Faculty of Fine Arts at the University of Pristine in Kosovo. Having lived in Winnipeg since 1997, he became a Canadian citizen in 2000. He has exhibited locally in over 100 group and 12 major individual shows as well as internationally. Over the years he has worked from a minimalist style to a more expressive one, reminiscent of Fauvism and expressionism.

Art is an expression of Milidrag’s world. He uses his paint brush to deal with the trauma and hardships he faced during the war in the former Yugoslavia, with an emphasis on the day to day struggle of finding a place for himself in the artistic life of North America. These, his most recent works, are inspired by Inuit art. Milos’ painting has been supported by Winnipeg Arts Council.
