Born on 14th January 1944 in the village of Jabucje, Serbia. He lives and works in Belgrade. He carved his first sculptures in 1960, and he had his first exhibition in 1964 together with his father who was also a sculptor and Ivan Tabakovic, a remarkable artist on the artistic scene at the time, who first recognized the works of future great artists in the sculptures of both the father and the son, Dragisa and Milan Stanisavljevic.
Milan moved to Belgrade in 1974 when he became a professional sculptor. He makes his sculptures in black oak wood which he dredges from peat bog riverbed of the Kolubara. Contrary to his father, Milan is a daydreamer, a visionary, full of initiative. He uses large surfaces of wood for his ideas, making
monumental columns. His large sized free sculptures, often carved as adjourns, are the most representative.
