Meu Limão 2000

Beatriz Milhazes created "Meu Limão", which translates to "My Lemon", with paint. The composition strikes you with its riot of colour and swirling shapes. From floral motifs to geometric patterns, the painting is a celebration of form. Milhazes engages with the visual language of both Op Art and Brazilian culture. The painting is a semiotic playground where each element is a signifier, referencing folk art traditions. This isn't just decoration; it's a dialogue with history, as Milhazes challenges fixed meanings. Notice how the layering and juxtaposition of different forms creates a sense of depth. The painting resists a singular interpretation, existing as a vibrant, fluid expression.
