MiLo - Bloom Pair - XXL

MiLo – “Bloom Pair”

A work by Amsterdam-based artist MiLo (1976).

Bloom Pair is a restrained abstract composition in which a simplified botanical form is reduced to its essential structure. Two dark blooms emerge from a single base, one upright and one visibly bent, introducing a subtle tension between balance and disruption. The form suggests a flower that is not broken, but altered—still standing, still in bloom.

Executed with bold black gestures and splattered accents on a light, matte ground, the painting balances control and spontaneity. The bent stem becomes the quiet focal point of the work, evoking vulnerability and resilience without becoming illustrative. The surface retains visible traces of the artist’s process, emphasizing movement, materiality, anw high d physical presence over representation.

Photo’s contain a bit more yellow in the background than in reality, this is due to lighting conditions.

The painting will be rolled up and shipped in a sturdy tube or box, without frame, and includes a signed certificate of authenticity.

About the artist

MiLo (1976) is an Amsterdam-based artist with a background in photography and art studies. Over the years he has sold more than 800 original works, now residing in private collections, hotels, restaurants, and offices across Europe, the United States, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.

His practice spans from early Pollock-inspired action paintings to precise geometric compositions, and to the layered, scratched surfaces he often explores today.

In his current work, MiLo investigates the tension between construction and erosion, layering and scraping the painted surface until traces emerge. These may recall urban structures, geological strata, or remnants of thought — yet the imagery is never fixed. Each canvas evolves through process and chance, allowing multiple interpretations to surface beyond any single theme.

Each work forms part of an ongoing exploration of abstraction, memory, and transformation, making MiLo one of the most prolific and recognizable contemporary artists on Catawiki.
