Miloš Volarič was born in 1933 in Kobarid. He attended the School of Design in Ljubljana and the School of Applied Arts in Zagreb, graduating in 1957 in decorative painting. Until his retirement, he taught art at an elementary school in Kobarid and received several awards. A member of the Union of Slovene Fine Arts Associations, he passed away in 2010.

Early in his artistic career, he included figures and created realistic landscapes. Soon after, he embraced modernism, exploring spatial effects on white surfaces with assemblages and collages. His “Programs” series is marked by a contrast between spontaneous artistic play and strict geometric order. A series of Aberration Symbols followed, suggesting hidden erotic symbolism, divided into male and female principles. His paintings convey dynamic tension—”entering inward and pressing outward, receiving and emitting, activity and passivity” (Brane Kovačič). Later, his compositions began to feature bolder, human body-like forms, floating like empty shells in an unknown space. Despite his familiarity with contemporary trends, Volarič also embraced subtle, delicate perceptions of his native surroundings.

The nature around Kobarid allowed him to create soft watercolors that, with their blurriness, focus on depicting what remains hidden to the ordinary eye, such as blades of grass, mist over the Soča River, distant mountains, or rainbow light. These works, with their lyricism, are the fruits of his inner reflections and personal perceptions. Volarič frequently exhibited in Slovenia and across the former Yugoslavia, abroad, and in cross-border regions, both solo and in groups. For an extended period, he collaborated with the international group 2xGO, later continuing his efforts within DLUSP (Association of Fine Artists of Northern Primorska). He also gained public recognition as a successful art teacher, inspiring students not only in painting but also in wood, stone, and iron sculpture. Together with his students, he undertook the demanding project of creating several monuments in Kobarid and its surroundings to commemorate events from the National Liberation Struggle (NOB).
