Beatríz Milhazes — Figo

Beatríz Milhazes

Figo

Beatriz Milhazes's *Figo* is a vibrant, exuberant composition that showcases the Brazilian artist's signature fusion of geometric and organic forms, bursting with bold, jewel-toned colors and rhythmic circular patterns. Executed as a screenprint and woodcut in colors on heavy Hiromi handmade Kozo paper, the work reflects Milhazes's deep engagement with both modernist abstraction and the rich visual culture of her native Rio de Janeiro. The texture and warmth of the handmade paper lend an additional tactile richness to the full sheet, enhancing the luminosity and layered complexity of the intricate design.
