Born in 1951 in (former) Yugoslavia, Milenko graduated with a Master’s degree in Fine Arts (Painting) from the Institutul de Arte Plastice “Nicolae Grigorescu” in Bucharest, Romania. From 1994, Milenko was the Dean at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Singapore’s LASALLE College of the Arts. He currently holds the post of Senior Fellow, Office of the President at the institution. He also founded Tropical Lab, an intensive and highly engaging art camp for graduate students from various art colleges and institutions worldwide.
Milenko has exhibited extensively in Europe since 1971 and in Asia since 1993. He has been invited to hold exhibitions within Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, China and most notably the Biennale of Sydney in 2006.
Apart from his numerous artistic ventures, Milenko contributed largely to art education through the participation in symposiums and art workshops worldwide. In addition, he acted as visiting professor at Musashino Art University in Tokyo, Japan and Sabanci University in Istanbul, Turkey.
Milenko was awarded the Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French government in 2011, and Singapore’s Cultural Medallion for Visual Arts in 2012 by the National Arts Council for his contributions in enriching Singapore’s visual art scene. He also received, in early 2012, the Silver Medallion for Knights in the Order of Arts and Letters by the French Embassy. In 2020 Milenko received 22nd Sava Šumanović Fine Art Award, Serbian national art award for Visual Arts.
His work is in various private and public collections, such as the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Australia; Museum of Contemporary Art, Belgrade, Serbia; Singapore Art Museum, National Gallery Singapore and Museum of Contemporary Drawing, Nurnberg, Germany, among others.
He became a Singapore citizen in 2002.
