Cajsa Lilliehook covers the best in virtual world screenshot art and digital painting
Milena Carbone is a gifted artist who excels in creating amazing pictures, dance performances, and writing. A true triple threat. “Dissonance” is a striking example of how deeply she looks beneath the surface. She recognizes that “life goes on” while death rains down on Ukraine. She sees the dissonance in the world where there is the sublime of dance and the savagery of war.

In this picture, it is April 1941 and the news is full of war and the bombing of London, but a smaller story is also printed, reporting the death of Virginia Woolf, which is what she pictures here.
“Blind” is the first part of a three-part installation, “The fifth season”, that questions our tendency to follow a path of self-destruction. The theme is our reckless consumption and environmental destruction, the anomie that prevents us from saving our planet.
“Living Picture” is a sample of her dance from last December. I chose it because of the fluidity of the movement and how beautiful it just is. Think of it as Christmas in August.
Milena Carbone produces beautiful pictures, a few of which she shares on Flickr, an appetizer to draw us to the full exhibition at her gallery, the Carbone Studio which has a website with more information about her and her exhibitions. [You can teleport to the studio by clicking this SLURL.] She also writes and her stories can be read at her exhibitions, on the studio site, and her older work is on a Medium site. There is so much to see and read, she has even created a new mythology.
