I guess that if you are born in Rio de Janeiro, the light stays in your heart for the rest of your life, and no matter what you do it will come out. This is what happens to Beatriz Milhazes (Rio de janeiro 1960).
Last week I was in London and it was one of those London days: rainy, windy, dark, cold… and to top it all I was almost run over by a touristic bus, for a while I thought I should have stayed at the hotel, but then I walked in Stephen Friedman gallery and in less than an hour I was high again. There they were, Beatriz Milhazes fantastic paintings.
Her work is an explotion of light, and positivity. She has no complex showing bright acrilyc colors in this dark times that we are living in. Something that shocked me was that although she paints fucsia and purple mandala flowers, they look very masculine. All her paintings are softly powerful. They are the kind of paintings that make a rainy day shine. JUST WHAT I NEEDED!!!!
