'Surfacing I,' by Dragana Milovic, Mixed Media Painting

This 48" x 34" mixed media painting, 'Surfacing I,' by Dragana Milovic depicts four by five rows of 3D squares adhered to the surface on a vibrant blue background. The blue and black matte pigment background provides a stark contrast to the gold leaf specks and gold cubes on the surface of the painting. The painting is framed with a contemporary, wooden frame.

"In this painting I tried to achieve simplicity and harmony of composition using blue pigment, geometric shape, cube as well as adding mixtures of gold leaf. By adding geometric 3D shapes, contrasts of light and shadow appear which give dynamism to the whole composition. ( Materials: Blue pigment, acrylic, glue, wooden objects)." - Dragana Milovic
