Born on September 15, 1942 in Drinici, Bosnia and Herzegovina, French painter Ksenia Milicevic is best known for creating the Art Resilience movement, which seeks to redefine the notion of art.
Milicevic comes from an interesting family history -- both her parents were partisans engaged in guerrilla campaign during World War II.
At an early age, she came to appreciate architecture and art. She graduated from both the University of Engineering in Belgrade, and the School of Architecture and Urbanism at the Institute of Urbanism in Algiers.
In her spare time, Milicevic took a class from Algerian painter M'hamed Issiakhem, who was known for a painting style that was a blend of abstract expressionism and traditional portraiture.
Milicevic moved to San Miguel de Tucumán in northern Argentina to work as an architect. While there, she joined the art school of the National University. Her first exhibition took place at the National University's Gallery in 1970.
Before settling in France, Milicevic spent some time in Spain and Mexico. She opened a workshop at Bateau-Lavoir in Montmarte, and has been exclusively dedicated to painting. She has since held exhibitions throughout the world.
