Beatriz Milhazes

Since the 1990s, Brazilian artist Beatriz Milhazes has attracted international attention with her colorful compositions. Her art features elements of Brazilian pop culture, floral motifs, ornamental arabesques, and abstract patterns. Visual reflections of the vibrant culture and traditions of Brazil, her work reinterprets the legacy of Matisse and revisits the notion of décor in painting as seen through the eyes of a female artist in contemporary Latin American culture.
