Beatriz Milhazes is renowned for her visual language rooted in painting, collage, and printmaking, drawing on the colors and rhythms that are native to her home, Rio de Janeiro. Her use of color and geometry is mined from place — the botanical gardens and the Tijuca forest near her studio, the surrounding city, its ocean front, and the cultural motifs of Brazil — and from memory. Her process culminates in the artist’s distinct form of abstraction, which she has termed “chromatic free geometry.” She is one of the leaders of the artist group that emerged in Brazil in the 1980s, known as Geração 80.
