Beatriz Milhaze





Milhaze is a Brazilian artist that has quite a graphic nature to her artwork. Her work contains both geometric and organic motifs. Pieces are thought to be representational of the Brazil landscape beacuse of its saturated colours and vivid patterns.

She works in a very complicated and skillful way when considering the composition. Elements are painted onto plastic sheets, once dry they are carefully positioned and then glued into place.
