Photography makes up a large part of Milena"s world. To Milena photographyis not just a medium of artistic expression but also a link to the art ofher father, the well-known Bulgarian photographer Ludmil Tzankov. From herfather Milena absorbed the love for the Bulgarian landscape with the uniquebeauty of its mountains.

Thousands of miles away from her native land, Milena paints from thecolourful palette of Pirin mountain and the beauty of the Bulgarianlandscape. In Milena"s art, this beauty exists side by side with thecolourful reflections in the canals of Amsterdam. Milena"s world is filledwith unique hues. Her passion for colours is the very texture of her art.The colours radiate from her portraits, from her landscapes, from theimprint of the " skeleton" of the fallen leaf.She transforms the ordinary fishermen"s nets in a palette of dazzilingcolours.
