Milly Flamburiari
Milly Flamburiari was born and brought up in London. She started
drawing at a very early age. After boarding school she attended Saint Martin's College of Art, studying general art and later, at the Chelsea College of Art, dress design. She went on to practise photography for
one year at a private American studio in London.
Her first personal exhibition 'Greek Themes' at Zygos Gallery in Athens in 1965, showed works in tempera paper, mostly of modern landscapes with figures. The critics praised her striking variety of colour, the expression of humour, her imagination and her great detail. Apart from painting, she has decorated the Cavalieri Hotel in Corfu Town and their Villa 'La Serenissima' Over the years she has been painting a variety of subjects, mainly in oils, and exhibited 'Flowers' at Arndean Galley, London in 2003. Furthermore, she created a series of paintings under the title Come to the Circus' exhibited at Partridge Fine Art, in Bond Street, London in 2009.
"The overriding impression of her pictures in their brilliance of colour, combined with a strong sense of design. Her technique, flat and
one-dimensioned, makes them look very like book illustrations. Indeed, she belongs to that tradition of English illustrators. such as Edmund Dulac (1882-1953) and Kay Nielsen (1886-1957). Like them her work is incredibly precise, brilliantly coloured, exotic and also f
ull of humour".
