In Militano's work, from the very beginning, the element of light emerges that marks the pictorial surface and outlines emotional and structural spaces.
She translates her own intimate geography of the landscape with signs, gestures and backgrounds that return to the viewer fragments of a phenomenal reality conceived outside the space-time dimension.
The multicolored brushstrokes, like many pixels on a monitor, fix on the two-dimensional surface the movement of a fleeting perceptive instant full of personal visions and emotions.
