Serpentina (Serpentine)
Beatriz Milhazes' *Serpentina (Serpentine)* is a vibrant screenprint bursting with the Brazilian artist's signature vocabulary of layered geometric and floral forms rendered in a jubilant cascade of bold, saturated colors. Undulating circular motifs and ornamental patterns intertwine across the Waterford paper, evoking the festive energy of Rio de Janeiro's Carnival alongside references to Baroque and folk traditions. The full sheet composition exemplifies Milhazes' masterful ability to balance visual complexity with rhythmic harmony, creating a surface that feels simultaneously decorative and deeply painterly.
