Maurilio Milone
Painter, draughtsman

Bio

I create my work combining digital and traditional media. I paint using a computer, as well as oils and acrylics.
My pictures are often spurred by song writing and free-flow writing, blurring the line between music, poetry, and painting.
I don’t shy away from showing the beauty in the darker aspects of life: addiction, isolation, obession and strangeness.
A reminder that we’re not alone in our personal struggles, whatever they might be, and that we’re okay the way we are.
My work is a love letter to all the counter-culture outcasts, freaks and rock ‘n rollers out there.

I run The Missoula Fine Art Studio together with my wife, Terra Chapman.
