Mila Posthumus is a contemporary South African painter. The artist's work is infused with an air of Hopper-like melancholy - her impressionistic figural works are set in shallow spaces and often rendered with muted, earthy tones. Mila's application of paint is tactile: her brush strokes varying between sharp focus and blurred lines , with the underlying process often left visible in places.
In 2013, the artist was commissioned to create work for the permanent collection at the War Museum of the Boer Republic in Bloemfontein.
Posthumus currently lives and works in Stellenbosch, South Africa. She has exhibited regularly at StateoftheART in Cape Town and continues to attract a broad collector base from around the world.
