Layered, textured, and bright, Milica Golubović’s digital illustrations explore a variety of subjects, that range from the light-hearted to the more somber. With a focus on animals and humans and the ways that the two interact, her visual explorations touch on themes like lifestyle, health, and wellness, nature and environment, as well as female empowerment.
Working digitally, using a Wacom graphic tablet, allows Golubović to experiment with textures and patterns. “I prefer digital over analog because it gives me more freedom to experiment,” she told Talenthouse. “As I really often change my mind about how something should look, it is more convenient for me to draw digitally and it is less time-consuming.”
Originally from Kotor, Montenegro, and now based in Belgrade, Serbia, her work is very much inspired by nature and specifically the Mediterranean seaside. “I’m mostly inspired by the sea and the seashore, clear sky and sunny days,” she says. “I would say that generally, Mediterranean life is a big part of that well from which I draw inspiration.”
According to Golubović, it’s hard to pinpoint exactly what it is that makes the Mediterranean lifestyle so appealing. “I think that it can be felt by looking at my work,” she notes, “it gives it a dreamy, calm, and a bit of a poetic atmosphere.”
