AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
MiLo – “Stem and Petals”
A work by Amsterdam-based artist MiLo (1976).
Stem and Petals is an abstract, botanical-inspired composition built around vertical structure, symmetry, and repetition. A central, upright stem anchors the work, while elongated, petal-like forms extend rhythmically to either side, suggesting a reduced and stylized plant anatomy.
The imagery remains deliberately open, hovering between botanical reference and abstract sign. Painted on the unprimed, rough side of the canvas, the acrylic absorbs unevenly into the surface, resulting in a dry, matte finish with softened edges and subtle tonal variation. Splashes and incidental marks introduce movement and emphasize the physical process behind the image.
The painting can be hung in any orientation (portrait, landscape, or rotated), allowing the composition to shift in balance and interpretation.
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.
