During my Art GCSE I found alot of inspiration from Beatriz Milhaze’s work. I think the way in which she composes shapes, colours and lines together to look absolutely amazing
Beatriz Milhaze is inspired by her Brazillian culture and carnivals which explains the brightness of the colours used. This particular canvas piece is called ‘IRMAS’ .
Her technique is of note: Milhazes applies her shapes on thin plastic sheets from which she then transfers the images onto a prepared background of canvas, creating a transparent effect where some elements may be totally obscured. Concentric circles and vivid stripes add to the carnival of colours that make for an explosive festival of painting. http://mocoloco.com/art/archives/001901.php
The background stripes also remind me of the work of Bridget Riley who focuses on lines in all shapes and sizes.
