Beatriz Milhazes: Performing Artist in New York

About Beatriz Milhazes

Beatriz Milhazes is a Brazilian painter and collage-based artist whose large-format works build dense fields of color from layered motifs and printed elements. Her practice draws on vernacular Brazilian imagery alongside the formal languages of European and American modernism, often setting pattern against geometry and ornament against structure. In New York City, her work is presented through Guggenheim Exhibitions, including the program “Collection in Focus | Beatriz Milhazes: Rigor and Beauty.” The paintings favor accumulation and precision over spontaneity.
