Beatriz Milhazes (b. 1960 in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil is an artist.

In her first UK exhibition (2001) she showed paintings using Brazilian cultural imagery and references to western Modernist painting. She creates smooth surfaces, this is produced from the artist's use of plastic sheeting onto which paint is applied and then peeled off onto canvases.

Milhazes work takes abstract expressionism into new and highly respectable realms, in that no one could levy the common criticism "my kid could paint that." Her intrepid use of high stylism and advanced technique allows for the ultimate goals of the genre to be realized. Namely, how does pure form, pure color and pure composition effect the psyche of the viewer. While beauty may ultimately be in the eye of the beholder, very few (if any) who behold a Milhazes can deny the existence of the beauty in the work. While no doubt her Brazilian heritage has had great influence on her works, the pieces are evocative of s far more universal experience.
