Mila Kirillova

Artist Bio

Mila worked as an animator in film and videogame industries for over 10 years. As time went by, she spent more and more time painting, intentionally taking time off from the animation work to pursue her painting career.

San Francisco became her new home around the year 2000, and has been a constant source of inspiration even since. In her work she combines a love of color with a skill for observation, as well as years of training in classical drawing and human anatomy. Her fascination with people, gestures and facial expressions comes from her background as a character animator.

Mila is now a full-time painter. She lives and works in the San Francisco Bay area. Mila regularly shows her work at CityArt Gallery in San Francisco. She is available for commissions.
