Milena Galli is a Brazilian-Australian multimedia artist known for bold, vibrant colours in large-scale works. Inspired by pop art, she explores 2D and 3D forms, focusing on ceramics, painting, and printmaking.
Her art sparks deep conversation on personal and everyday life. With an artist mother and seamstress grandmother, she launched a fashion brand, studied in Brazil and London, and worked as a fashion designer and muralist in Brazil and Indonesia.
Since moving to Australia in 2013, she has expanded into ceramics and visual arts. A Greek residency deepened her study of ancient ceramics, raku, and ash glazes.
Milena continues to push artistic boundaries with her dynamic, thought-provoking work.
She has been a finalist in the art prize Little Thing (Saint Cloche Gallery, Sydney) and won a student award for Excellence in Ceramic Practice from Lismore TAFE. She also won an Encouragement Award (Gallery 3, Byron Bay) and a one-month residency with The Lumberyard in Byron Bay, NSW.
Milena has a Bachelor of Design (Brazil), Diploma in Creation & Coordination of Fashion (Brazil), and attended fashion courses at Central Saint Martin’s College of Art and Design (London). She has a Diploma of Ceramics (Lismore TAFE), and a Diploma of Visual Arts (Lismore TAFE).
