The artwork “Meu Limão,” created by Beatriz Milhazes in the year 2000, belongs to the Pattern and Decoration (P&D) art movement and is artistically categorized under the genre of tessellation.
In this vibrant piece, Milhazes employs a kaleidoscope of rich colors and intricate patterns to form a mesmerizing composition. The artwork is characterized by its use of overlapping floral and ornate geometric shapes, creating a dynamic and rhythmic visual experience. The interplay of vivid hues, such as reds, blues, yellows, and purples, alongside the detailed and repetitive motifs, evokes a sense of movement and complexity. “Meu Limão” is a testament to Milhazes’ mastery in combining decorative elements with a structured yet fluid tessellated design, reflective of both traditional and contemporary influences.
