Interview with Milena Bini

In your varied artistic journey, starting in adolescence, what initially led you toward art as a form of expression and how has this inspiration evolved over time?

Art was initially therapeutic for me, the medium that allowed me to express my states of mind. I remember in my early adolescent conflicts feeling a strong uneasiness, running to the attic, grabbing everything I had on hand: sand, paper, paints, glues, etc., and instinctively transferring my malaise to canvas or board. Art was my salvation. This is precisely why I enrolled in one school after another to learn how to express myself better in this language. The real passion blossomed in high school where I had the good fortune to meet good teachers who passed on to me a love of art history and human figure drawing; attending classes got me hooked on oil painting, over time I experimented with different techniques and expressions in various artistic fields, I was thirsty to learn.
