Raul Enmanuel - La Mesa: Masterful Abstract Art
This is a wonderful example of Enmanuel's command of the paper medium. His texture, compositions, and technical mastery continue to astound. This is recent work, and though his symbology tends toward the abstract, he has hinted that these paintings are representative of feminine, divine beings of a benevolent, and supportive nature. Much of his work employs the palm jungle as a basis for the profound symbology, and iconography of the work. There is great power in these paintings, and the forms, symbols, and figures in the end, compose these lovely abstract, tropical landscapes, that he has become known for. Though one can find points of reference that were inspired by the Latin Masters, the work has become entirely his own. There are several more images from this series available. This work is 17 x 17", and is mixed media on a rather fascinating, very thick, highly textured paper. Very unique work. They frame up beautifully. Enmanuel's work was prominently featured in the 4th season of the Fox Television's show "Prison Break". It was used to decorate the loft space in the show, and his work can be seen in a number of episodes. The origins of his iconography are in the early work of Wifredo Lam. One can see elements that are a reminder of this great artist's work. Though Enmanuel has used these elements as a point of inspiration, he has succeeded in making the work entirely his own. He has focused on Lam's early jungle work as a jumping off point, to create a body of symbols, and a language that depicts a reverence for Mother Nature, and his work has a power and intensity that is rarely found in contemporary art. We at MLA search for contemporary artists that have both conceptual genius, and technical mastery. A combination of qualities rarely found today, but present in abundance in the work of this brilliant artist. Enmanuel was selected to create two huge murals in Cuba. One is a 40 ft. mural at the Railway Station in Santiago, and the other is a 30 ft. mural in the lobby of the Melia Cohiba, which is the top hotel in Eastern Cuba. These are both extremely prestigious projects, and have placed this great artist in an important historical context. We have been in business for 20 years, and enjoy a very good feedback rating. We believe in, and offer outstanding customer service. MLA Gallery has other paintings by Enmanuel, as well as a large selection of paintings, graphics, sculptures, and drawings by established Latin artists, and Latin Masters. Please inquire for many others.We can frame this rather nicely, with a black museum type moulding, floated on a platform over silk, for only $100 more, including packing and shipping.

Soft as Rabbits Fur🥰
Size: 60''x80'', Color: Ombré Silver Onyx, Size: 60''x80'', Color: Ombré Silver Onyx
The softest blanket. Feels like sleeping with rabbit fur. I did anticipate it being a little heavier and it was not but that is ok I love it non the less. Would recommend to anyone! I have not attempted to wash it yet as the last one I ruined washing so were gonna wait as long as possible before washing this one. I would def recommend not drying. It has a luxurious high quality feeling to it that keeps me thinking about it all day! It's not to thick therefore it its too hot but keeps you comfortably warm. Amazon offered a %20 discount at checkout. The Blanket ended up being cheaper than I thought it would be
So far I've used it for a couple weeks and 0 signs of shedding! I use it on my bed as I don't want it to get ruined. I fold it up each morning and put it away. I ordered the 60×80it fits a twin sized bed. I love this size and won't order anything smaller.

Ultra Luxurious and Washable
Size: 50''x60'', Color: Ombré Hazel Brown
I’ve never written a review this fast. This throw is the height of luxury, style, comfort, feel and appearance. I used on our bed, only on my side as my husband has different temp needs. It doesn’t shed. I only needed the 50x60 inches, but it’s available in 50x80. What clinched the purchase for me was that it is washable and can be tumbled dried. It’s the perfect weight. Not too light and not too heavy. (Goldilocks would have loved it.) It looks and feels like real fur! It’s pricier than other throws but it’s 100% what I wanted and beyond my expectations. 5+ Stars!!!!

Beautiful and comforting!
Size: Throw(50" X 60"), Color: Tie Dye Brown
Love, Love, Love this throw! I love the feel, coloring, and wearability! When my Tortie Cat lays on it, it is hard to see her! This is warm, soft, and Beautiful! Looks as good today as it did when I got it for Christmas! The Unhide Marshmallow brand was my favorite, before, and I do still like, I hope this washes up as well as they do. It is heavier, But very comforting!

Nice blanket
Size: Twin(60" X 80"), Color: Tie Dye Charcoal
My partner and I fight over this blanket. It’s so soft and comfortable. I wish I got a bigger size. It’s a little bit darker overall than the photo. I believe I got the black/gray color. It’s a good weight, not too heavy but not too light.
