Form Vs Content




"Picabo" is a piece by artist Beatriz Milhazes. Beatriz form is always started with a square, and then she builds on top of it. The content of her work is much more meaningful. Beatriz Milhaze’s work is inspired by her Brazilian culture.  Ruffled blouses, church facades, exotic plants and several other beauties she discovered in her county all inspire her work. Beatriz’s work also features beautiful colors which are referenced to the kaleidoscope of Brazilian Culture.  Beatriz explains that she uses many colors because it constantly moves the eyes of her audience. Understanding the reasoning behind her work and her culture helps me better connect with the artist.
