ABOUT

Mila Belino is a Berlin-based visual artist and sculptor whose practice sits at the intersection of figurative and organic sculpture, installation, and photography. Born in Poland, she studied architecture at the Gdańsk University of Technology and the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar – where architecture was understood as an autonomous art form. This foundation shaped her approach to form, space, and the body, informing a sculptural language that is at once structural and visceral.

Her work investigates corporeality, embodiment, and the human condition – exploring how social, religious, and cultural systems inscribe themselves into the body, and what the body carries as a result. Working across mixed media and sculptural installation, she creates biomorphic, organic forms that make visible what is usually hidden: the tension between presence and containment, intimacy and exposure, fragility and resistance.

Belino often works with figures that are worn, inhabited, or staged with the living body – giving form to body memory, unconscious states, and embodied narratives. Her aesthetic draws on the surreal and the poetic, engaging ideas from Merleau-Ponty, Jung, and Nietzsche on the lived body, shadow, and corporeal authority.

Working from a female perspective, she addresses how female sensuality and physicality are shaped, consumed, and misread – and insists on the body as an autonomous, perceptive, and vital force.

Mila Belino has exhibited internationally in Germany, Hungary, South Korea, Lithuania, the United States, and Italy. She is a member of the BBK Berlin.
