A recent addition to our Instagram feed, Milica Golubović’s illustrations are bright and uplifting, providing a wash of color that’s very much appreciated this time of year. Originally from Kotor, Montenegro, and now based in Belgrade, Serbia, Golubović notes the Mediterranean seaside amongst her inspirations.
“I’m mostly inspired by the sea and the seashore, clear sky and sunny days,” she shared with Talenthouse. “I would say that generally, Mediterranean life is a big part of that well from which I draw inspiration. It’s not so easy to explain the exact thing I find inspiring about it, but it is present as a general feeling in my life and work. I think that it can be felt by looking at my work, it gives it a dreamy, calm, and a bit of a poetic atmosphere.”
The poetic quality found in her work might be tied with the subjects she chooses to explore. With her work spanning from editorials and branding to advertising, her creations touch on topics like lifestyle and wellness, but also nature and environment, as well as female empowerment.
“I prefer digital over analog because it gives me more freedom to experiment,” Golubović says, adding that she uses a Wacom graphic tablet. “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,” she explains.
