Milanka Djuranovic Bajcetic (born in Titograd, Yugoslavia, now Podgorica, Montenegro), is an autodidactic and independent artist based in Podgorica. She has been exhibiting since 2002. She has made design and illsutrations for several books and writes poetry. For many years she was a member of the Izvorni likovni umjetnci Crne Gore (Original Fine Artists of Montenegro) and a member of the NGO “Slikarski Uranak” from Podgorica. She is the founder of NGO “Likovni etnos Crne Gore” (Art Ethnos of Montenegro).
On her self-taught artistic journey, she found inspiration in Professor Dobroslav Mrdak, her former Art History professor, while Ms. Tinda Bulatović, a graduate of the Academy of Applied Arts in Belgrade, introduced her to the pastel technique. At the suggestion of Ms. Bulatović, Milanka began leading an art workshop „Workshop school of drawing and painting – Treće Doba”, which she has now been running successfully for eight years.
Her work has been the subject of analysis and writing by numerous Montenegrin art historians, including Professor Lazar Seferović, Draginja Kujović, Petrica Duletić, Dr Aleksandar Čilikov, MA Ljiljana Karadžić, as well as MA in Painting Nikica Raičević, MA in Sculpture Velibor Pavićević, Dr Lidija Vujačić…
Her artistic forms represent a lyrical way of visual expression, using specific colorful circles that she applies with a brush. In her view, circles and arcs have the perfect shape and reflect cosmic energy and unity.
Her creative collages in the ancient encaustic technique, created with flower petals on a hard surface, are reminiscent of oil on canvas paintings.
Through research, she explore sources, observing the microcosm and macrocosm within and around her, as well as the relationships between the spiritual and the material, the visible and the invisible, cause and effect, which dominates in her artistic work.
She believes that art has the power to influence reality and can help create a better future.
She does not distance herself from the aspirations, fears, and dreams that make up our daily lives. She strives to connect with her inner self and wants to portray essential truths that transcend the boundaries of time.
Thematically so far, her focus is on environmental protection, botany, natural phenomena, as well as the relationship between masculine and feminine energy. She is also interested in cultural and historical heritage and ethnic women’s costumes, as well as museum treasures, archaeological sites, and urban structure, along with experiences from her hometown.
The rich diversity of her country and respect for it, capture her attention.
By seeking what is, and not what is not, she hopes that we will carry the legacy of civilization’s culture and art with dignity and that, with their help, we will overcome problems.
In her experimental work, her abstract paintings with minimalist elements, convey the philosophical message that “less is more,” where order and chaos coexist. Her works are subtle yet feature strong colors, and the lyrical composition of colored circles creates vortices and powerful vibrations, making her works special and original. Viewers at her exhibitions share a sense of joy, creating a shared experience of art.

Born in green Podgorica in Montenegro and being surrounded by plants in her closest surroundings, the colourful plants awakened in her a passion for gathering them, pressing them and creatively transforming them into images. In this way she translated her inner feelings and her perception of the reality around her into pictures of flower petals. These are the paintings she made in collage and encaustics, the paintings she always returns to.
As a city child, she grew up in a patriarchal environment and with respect for tradition. Her family’s collective past has formed a collective subconscious memory within her of a distant bygone era, which she analyzes, invokes, and makes peace with. In the more recent past of her youth, she captures the city’s annual cultural events using spatial colorism.
Even deeper she searches through the past and history of her nation, searching and connecting evidence derived from museum collections, archeological localities, dominant woman folk costume, natural beauties and meta messages.
She is interested in that which is, and not in what is not. She substantiates this with facts from botanists, biologists and ecologists, who provided her with texts on rare, protected and endangered plant species. She has the will for real foundations and safety of that above the real, that creates peace with real around her.
This certainty is also reflected in her exploration of the stripped-back relationship between the masculine and feminine, where abstract lines provide a simplicity and sufficiency reflected in the infinite vertical mind and the horizontal lines that represent love.
Finally, she is interested in the immaterial world that plays music and eternally sings or echoes around us, which we do not see because we are overwhelmed by the pace of life and technology.
All her experimental research, is guided by a search for confirmation of what she seeks within herself. Serenity, harmony, and poetry, above all a sublime brightness, make Milanka’s paintings original and special.
Her paintings are imbued with a special sensibility, opening up new horizons that promise the existence of another dimension of reality. This reality bestows upon us a gentle feeling that warms the heart and gives us the energy to build a more beautiful and better reality. The paintings are imbued with layered, circular brushstrokes and swirls of colour that energetically project strength, peace and the promise of a better present, speaking of life and its essence. Through the application of colour in circular brushstrokes, she creates energetic vibrations that have a meditative, positive effect on the viewer.
