Milah van Zuilen
Milah van Zuilen, a Dutch contemporary artist born in 1998, graduated cum laude from the Fine Arts & Photography program at the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam. Her graduation project, ‘Terrafuturism’, was selected for the Best of Graduates exhibition at Ron Mandos Gallery in 2021, earning her the Ron Mandos Young Blood Award and acquisition by Museum Voorlinden. Both a visual artist and forest ecologist, Van Zuilen attempts to bridge the disciplines of art and ecology in her work. Her artworks reflect the human urge to categorize and divide landscapes by mimicking the grid-like structures of taxonomy and cartography. Her work is increasingly being exhibited both in the Netherlands and internationally, with shows in museums such as Natuurhistorisch Museum Rotterdam, Nederlands Fotomuseum, and Museum Kasteel Wijlre.
