“Popeye,” a painting by Beatriz Milhazes, created in 2008, employs acrylic on canvas as its medium. This artwork is a part of the P&D (Pattern and Decoration) art movement and belongs to the abstract genre.
The artwork is a vibrant display of circular motifs, layered upon one another to create an intricate amalgamation of patterns and colors. Dominated by bold hues such as rich greens, deep purples, fiery reds, and neon yellows and oranges, it forms a dynamic interplay that draws the viewer’s eye across the canvas. The composition is both complex and harmonious, encapsulating the decorative essence of the P&D movement. The overlapping shapes and varied color palette evoke a sense of movement and depth, continuously engaging the audience with its elaborate and joyful abstraction.
