Milan Basic discovered art through graffiti in the late 1980's. This led to portrait art, automotive airbrushing, graphic design and wall murals. After focusing primarily on walls, it was after much prodding that he tried applying these images to canvas. Starting with spray paint on canvas, curiouslty and experimentation lef to a multitude of mixed media works. The original canvases were strongly graffiti inspired, which then evolved into photo-realism and naturally, surrealism. Evolution brought originality. Not wanting to regurgitate the usual selection, it was decided Milan would introduce all of his influences into his current productions. Using techniques learned from years in the film industry combined with styled taken from his many years of involvment in the graffiti culture and adding other ideas inspired by renaissance art and even anime art. What is being produced tofay by Milan is a bastard child od all these elements being used to convey his messaged and ideas forming what is clearly a truly original style. Don't blink, this artist is not afraid to throw more curve balls into the soup. After all, he is in a constant state of change and thirsts for the next step. Currently experimenting with resin pours and moving toward scultpture for the near future.
