About the artist

Beatriz Milhazes is a celebrated Brazilian artist known for her exuberant use of colour, pattern, and ornamentation. Her richly layered works—often drawing from both Western abstraction and Brazilian visual culture—combine modernist influences with the vibrancy of tropical flora, Baroque architecture, and the rhythm of Carnival. Milhazes bridges cultures and histories through a visual language that is both joyful and complex.

Working primarily in painting and collage, Milhazes has developed a distinctive technique that involves transferring hand-painted motifs from plastic sheets onto canvas, creating surfaces that shimmer with depth and detail. Her work is informed by a diverse range of influences—from Matisse and Mondrian to Brazilian folk art and decorative traditions—resulting in compositions that feel both contemporary and timeless.

Her work has been exhibited widely, including at the Venice Biennale and in major museums such as the Guggenheim and the Tate. Milhazes continues to explore themes of identity, place, and cultural hybridity through works that pulse with colour, rhythm, and energy. At Lougher, collectors are invited to experience a selection of her mesmerising pieces—each one a celebration of visual harmony and emotional resonance.
