Milan Sanka

Statement
Statement

Born in 1991 in Toulouse (FR).
Lives and works in Paris since 2015.

Artist with an insatiable curiosity, Milan Sanka’s work is rooted in his Martinican and Spanish origins, giving life to satirical, offbeat and even serious scenes from an obscured topicality.

As part of the figuration narrative movement, the artist depicts his environment with a concern for synthesis that allows the message of his work to be grasped at a glance. The characters drawn in white stand out against their black background to reveal a scene with a reduced palette, as if to leave clues without cluttering up the message to be delivered.

The importance of communicating is reflected in his masked characters, whose anonymity gives them a universal appeal. Each of us can recognise ourselves, question ourselves and observe the world around us.
