Megan Milani (b. 1995) is a mixed-media artist whose work explores relationships with intuition and tactility, and balances the curious juxtapositions between organic and structural forms and functions. Born and raised in New Orleans but currently working and living in Brooklyn, New York, Milani’s work reflects the dynamic contrasts within the vast world of contemporary art and testifies to the creative process as a reflection of the subconscious. Her work holds inspiration in large part from her successful career as an engineer, where innovation relies on strict structural stability and enduring balance. Yet, her art shatters these rules by incorporating abstraction, movement, and intuition. Milani works with traditional mediums such as watercolor and ink on cold-pressed paper, but incorporates textile elements such as gauze to demonstrate the fluidity between her artistic identity and the functionality of everyday life. What results are works that act as evidence to the conceptual balance she carefully builds between her two worlds- that of science and that of art. Her work acts as testimony to the possibility of achieving balance between worlds that seem irreconcilable. Every day, and with every brushstroke or application, she unlearns rigidity and embraces spontaneity. Inevitably, her art weaves a narrative that speaks implicitly to the beauty and bounty of letting go.
