Carli Milstein Art

I am a mixed-media abstract painter based in Highland Park, Illinois. I combine structured design and spontaneous gesture in textured, layered works shown in galleries and private collections.
About my work
My paintings invite the viewer too take a closer look into the layers of paint. I find beauty in the idea that something can be wild, Imperfect and still come together in a way that feels harmonious. Exploring the tensions between calm and chaos. Fragments can come together to form a rhythm that feels almost accidental yet deeply intentional. I add layers of interest, of movement and contrast - light versus dark, open space versus density, stillness versus energy. My pieces are a mix of mediums including acrylic, spray paint, charcoal, oil sticks and chalk pastel.
