“Salt (Diptych)” is a screenprint created by artist Beatriz Milhazes in 2009. This abstract artwork is representative of the P&D (Pattern and Decoration) art movement. The artwork is a diptych, consisting of two panels that together form a cohesive piece.
The left panel of the artwork features a vibrant, overlapping flower motif composed of layered petals in various shades of green, red, and blue. This intricate floral design is set against a rich background of geometric shapes in hues including pink, orange, and red. The right panel showcases a central circular motif with a bold, swirling design in purple and black, surrounded by a series of colorful, patterned sections. Each section contains shapes such as dots, stripes, and organic curves in colors like yellow, blue, and green. The use of vivid colors and repeated patterns highlights the intricate and decorative style characteristic of Milhazes’ work.
