Željka Mićanović Miljković is a Zurich-based visual artist whose research-based practice explores the intersection of drawing, literature, architecture and scenographic thinking.

 

Drawing lies at the core of her practice — not simply as a medium, but as a way of thinking and constructing relationships between image, material and space. Over nearly three decades, her work has developed through artist’s books, works on paper, painting, moving image, porcelain and spatial interventions, often allowing one form to evolve into another.

 

The artist’s book has been a recurring point of departure: a space in which images, fragments of text, rhythm, material and absence come together. Increasingly, this logic extends beyond the page into physical space, where architecture, scale, thresholds and the movement of the viewer become active elements of the work.

 

Literature, cities and lived experience frequently initiate her projects without determining a fixed narrative. Shaped by scenographic thinking, and articulated through her doctoral research in Scene Design, her practice approaches the exhibition as a spatial composition in which artwork, architecture and viewer enter into dialogue.

 

She lives and works in Zurich, Switzerland.
