Haitian artist MILO’s (Marc-Emile Placide’s) abstract background takes center stage in this untitled acrylic canvas. Done in subtle shades of orange, copper and green, this acrylic painting hints at MILO’s concern with the environment. Surrounded by carnage and bloodshed in his homeland, MILO alludes to violent weapons in this piece of art, where sharp objects piercing the central elements attract the eye.
Read about the artist MILO
Once one of the wealthiest nations in the world during colonial times, Haiti is now in the process of rebuilding after a political upheaval that left it reeling in destruction. In the grips of such tragedy, residents of the country often find refuge from their troubles in their religion. Haitian artist MILO finds similar solace in painting abstract images like those seen in this acrylic canvas. Like most of MILO’s renderings, which usually depict objects not seen in the natural world and implement color in a non-representative way, this piece invites individual interpretation.
Some of the specifics are:
- Painted by MILO
- Acrylic on Canvas
Note: This painting requires an additional shipping fee of $50 for special packaging and insurance.
Because the canvas on which this piece of art has been painted is of a high-quality construction, the color should remain robust and last for years to come. To maintain its pristine condition, keep the canvas covered as much as possible. This will prevent layers of dust, grime and finger grease from building up. Keep your acrylic canvas out of direct sunlight, as natural rays can accelerate fading and will change the color of the paint pigment. Also, avoid handling the painting any more than is necessary. To prevent cracking, never roll or varnish your canvas. If your painting gets dirty, brush it to remove any loose dirt. If that doesn’t do the trick, wash it with clean water but don’t saturate the paint or canvas, as doing so can cause shrinking.
