"Using oriental techniques with Chinese inks and rice paper, the artist captures the universe in precise strokes using a very unique technique."
     Fernando Seara (archt.), Director of Museum of Douro.

"Technique, passion and inspiration make these works of art the greatness represented by Milla's simple delicacy."
     João Oliveira, Director of Museum of Wine.

"... my initial encounter with the immensely talented art of Milla Chang, a work that deeply has captivated me. Her art seamlessly combines expressions of Eastern and Western arts, reflecting the artist's life and the influence she got from living in these two distinct cultures."
     Carlos Macedo e Couto (archt.), organizer of "Bridging Cultures Festival" in Taipei.

"Since the very first moment I saw some drawings she did when still very young, I realized the native talent Milla owns for art painting and I pushed her into a art painting career. Using and blending skills and knowledge inherited from the traditional chinese calligraphy with her own concepts, Milla does not limit herself to techniques and rules of traditional brush painting, developing personal and unique techniques to achieve wonderful and innovative results plenty of creativity and beauty, in an easly identifiable peculiar style."
     Jorge Matos (archt.), curator of Milla's exhibitions.
