The artwork, titled “O Sabado” and created by Beatriz Milhazes in the year 2000, belongs to the P&D (Pattern and Decoration) art movement and is categorized within the abstract genre.
“O Sabado” is a vivid and intricate composition, exhibiting a rich tapestry of swirling patterns, vibrant circles, and ornate motifs. Dominated by a central, elaborate design in gray with curvilinear and circular forms, the artwork exudes a rhythmic dynamism. Surrounding this central element, numerous multi-colored concentric circles and floral shapes add layers of depth and complexity, creating an exuberant visual interplay. At the top, a botanical representation featuring a red fruit with green leaves within a white circle provides a focal point, contrasting with the abstract surroundings. The artwork showcases Milhazes’ distinctive style, merging Baroque extravagance with modern abstraction through the use of bold colors and intricate decorative patterns.
