Born and raised in Silesia, Poland, a region characterised by cultural diversity and international influence, Lady Milo moved to Ireland in 2007.
She studied culture, including art history and later she developed a particular interest in the subconscious processes and underwent a training in shamanism (2015-2016, Dublin) and holotropic breathwork with facilitators from Ireland and USA.
In 2015 Lady Milo completed an oil painting course at Marino College, Dublin. Shortly after settling in in County Mayo in 2022 she returned to painting. Lady Milo exhibited in shows across Ireland and abroad.
In March 2022, surrounded by raw and dynamic nature of Co. Mayo, Ireland, I found myself turning my dream of becoming an artist into reality. Every day, I noticed, the lights of sunrise and sunset, as well as the moody weather, seemed to reflect the spectrum of human emotions and made the same places look different.
My work consists of two main paths. While walking the first one, I try to capture life in rural Ireland, where past overlaps with presence. Real and imaginary entities appear in the surrounding landscape and confirm the perennial nature of life. At the same time, when painting objects and my surroundings, I focus on the momentary atmosphere and allow the actual images to go through the filter of my personal perception of them.
I try to express the ephemeral essence of any given moment.
Analogically, in portraits I refrain from adhering to the obvious standards of beauty and instead try to capture the emotional state of the portrayedpeople.
It is a constant exploration of the illusion of permanence and the evanescent character of all that exists..
