More on Milan
Hello, thank you for taking the time to view my work & learn more about me!
A little background: I was born and raised in the small Balkan country of North Macedonia. I immigrated here when I was 7 years old, and I spoke no English (and learned most of it through watching hours upon hours of American television). Looking back, my abundant screen time as a kid catalyzed my interest in the entertainment world and my desire to pursue a career in the arts.
I strongly believe that the greatest inspiration can be found by looking back. Never shy to credit my muses, they always seem to come from a time passed: the 1990s provocateur Madonna, the factory days of late 1960s Warhol, or the glistening beauty of old Hollywood. Work across eras and art forms all poke through while I am creating.
I started the production company and magazine Starmaker Machine in June 2022 with my best friend and creative partner Kitty Quinn. We were built on a love for art, a desire to educate, and a need to create. The project has meant the world to me as I have gotten to work with some of the most extraordinary creatives. We released our first printed issue “STILL” in September 2024. The work presented here is a sample of my time with Starmaker Machine, VIM Magazine, along with projects from my studies at MSU … Enjoy! ★
