Biography
Milan Markovich is a contemporary artist who grew up in Vienna and began his artistic education at the University of Applied Arts under the mentorship of Professor Oberhuber. He later continued his studies at the New York Art Students League, where he trained under Robert Beverly Hale, a former curator of the Metropolitan Museum. This experience allowed him to develop his unique talent for representing three-dimensional structures on a two-dimensional plane. Markovich also briefly studied at the Slade School of Art in London before returning to Vienna to establish his artistic style.
The human body and its transformations, viewed from various perspectives, are central themes in Markovich’s work. His paintings often depict condensed, torso-like forms in dynamic motion, exploring contrasts between rest and movement, spiritual depth, and physical plasticity. The pastose surfaces of his works evoke comparisons to Francis Bacon, while his artistic approach often suggests the perspective of a sculptor striving to translate the language of three-dimensional forms into a two-dimensional medium. His paintings create a distinct spatial reality through a balance of depth, dynamic development, and structural precision.
Markovich's thematic interests extend to exploring the human impact on nature and reinterpreting the works of masters such as Velázquez, David, Manet, Rodin, and Van Gogh. Rooted in the formal, structural education of the 19th century, his art transitions from rigid proportional rules to a dialectic interplay between structure and gesture. Construction lines thread through his compositions, oscillating between abstraction and form, while sculptural shapes emerge against monochromatic, uniform backgrounds.
Markovich held his first museum exhibition at the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. His evolving body of work demonstrates a deep engagement with both classical traditions and innovative techniques, leaving much open for future exploration and garnering anticipation for his upcoming creations.
