Caribbean Women Canvas Wall Art | African American Decor
Pickup currently not available
This stretched canvas Caribbean wall art carries the whole heat and color of Cartagena into your home — a vibrant Afro-Colombian fruit vendor by Antionette Simmons Hodges, painted on location in 2001, her red turban and tropical cargo a testament to beauty, labor, and the cultural pride of the palenqueras — Afro-Colombian women who have sold fruit in Cartagena's streets for generations. On canvas, the vivid reds, tropical blues, and warm earth tones of the palette radiate with an immediacy that brings the streets of Cartagena directly into the room.
It fills a kitchen, dining room, living room, or any space that welcomes color and cultural vitality. The image wraps fully around the 1.25" pine frame, bringing the composition all the way to the edges without glass or distance between you and the painting.
Printed with museum-grade giclée inks on archival-quality canvas, gallery-wrapped on a 1.25" solid pine frame, and ready to hang. Available in three sizes: 20"H × 16"W, 25"H × 20"W, and 30"H × 24"W.
A spirited gift for travel lovers, Caribbean culture enthusiasts, and anyone who celebrates the world's diverse beauty. Ships from the USA.
Product Details & Legal Information
Canvas & Materials
Our stretched canvas prints are made with thick, archival-grade polyester canvas that is pH-neutral and acid-free—designed to resist yellowing over time. Each piece is printed using giclée technology to produce vivid, true-to-life colors with a semi-gloss finish. A protective coating guards against scratches, smudges, and fingerprints, helping preserve the artwork's beauty for over 100 years.
The canvas is hand-stretched over solid, warp-resistant wood stretcher bars with rounded, beveled edges and a depth of 1.25", giving it a clean, gallery-quality profile. A pre-installed sawtooth hanger on the back ensures your artwork is ready to hang right out of the box.
Care Instructions
To ensure the long-lasting quality of your framed stretched canvas print:
- Display indoors, away from direct sunlight, excessive humidity, air pollutants (like smoke), or extreme temperatures. These conditions may cause fading, warping, or mold over time.
- Dust regularly using a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using water, cleaning sprays, or abrasive materials, as they may damage the printed surface.
- Lighting may affect appearance: Colors may look different under various lighting conditions. Our prints are calibrated for D50 (5000K daylight) viewing.
- For minor imperfections, small nicks can often be touched up with waterproof felt-tip markers or artist-grade touch-up paint.
By following these guidelines, your canvas print will retain its beauty and vibrancy for years to come.
