Oil Paintings By Dimitra Milan

Giving back to charitable causes continues to be an important part of Dimitra’s work as an emerging artist. Her paintings are regularly donated to non-profit organizations that advocate against human trafficking and "Comfy Cozies 4 Chemo" which provides assistance to families and children with cancer. Through an intensive home school program, Dimitra graduated 2-years early from high school, allowing her to focus full-time on her art career. Dimitra currently lives in Arizona with her family, and travels regularly to Hawaii and international destinations to experience the world and gain new inspirations. When Dimitra isn’t traveling, she can be found at home outside of Phoenix either painting in her studio, or riding her horse in her picturesque Southwest outdoors.

Dimitra says: "My artistic process always begins by drawing a loose sketch of the subject onto textured canvas. After the sketch is complete, my next steps become specific to the final envisioned painting. For mixed media oil, I begin by layering different papers directly on the sketched canvas creating one-of-a-kind characteristics and a collage effect. At this stage, I may be inspired to use spray paint or add acrylic elements. For an oil on canvas piece, I will add transparent colors in oil paint staining the drawing."
