At the small age of nine, Mila was at her grandparents cottage painting with her favorite watercolors. Her grandmother's old cupboard was her first inspiration. She created intricate paintings on the old piece of wood in bright oils which gave it a new life. The neighbors who came to see it were so impressed that they wanted her to paint on their old pieces as well. Mila's love for creating live art was born.

Many years later, her art still shines with joy. Her paintings depict real objects in the realm of the imagination: running horses, onions from the fresh market, an aristocratic family on vacation. She creates tangible sensations of light, color, fabrics and moods of her characters. By manipulating angles, color tones, and perspective the paintings are indirectly evocative of whatever mood is at play. Many things contribute to the creation of this special art, which emanates an uplifting energy. The right atmosphere has to be created in the form of inspirational music, aromas from fresh flowers and candles, and delicate lighting.  Every painting comes with a story which not only gives it meaning, but a life of its own. Many of her inspirations come when Ms. Koenig is playing the piano, and in her words, "the images float up and ask to be transformed onto the canvas."

The freshness of her art comes from the quieter moments expressed in the gently unfolding peace of the idyllic beach scene where she lives. It allows her to catch the atmosphere, the movement of water, and the brilliance of the sunsets. It is this peace of mind which allows her to create lasting pieces of art.

Ms. Koenig specializes in works of art of special complexity, from horses and nature to human bodies and portraits.
