The artwork “South Seas” by Beatriz Milhazes, created in 2001, belongs to the P&D (Pattern and Decoration) art movement and is categorized within the abstract genre.
The artwork features a harmonious interplay of bold colors and intricate patterns. Dominated by vibrant hues of purple, blue, and gold, the composition is characterized by floral motifs, scalloped shapes, and sinuous lines. The left side of the piece includes a series of wavy lines in muted tones, contrasting with the vivid, multicolored concentric circles and elaborate circular patterns that occupy the central and right sections. The overlapping forms and rich textures evoke a sense of depth and movement, creating a dynamic visual experience that is both ornate and expressive. The combination of geometric precision and organic shapes reflects the distinctive style of the Pattern and Decoration movement, celebrating complexity and diversity in abstract art.
