In September of 2009, Beatriz Milhazes returned to Durham Press to create a series of seven prints, entitled the Gold Rose Series. This series is comprised of two singles, a diptych and a triptych and is full of the warm color schemes, botanical forms, and intricate detailing typical to Milhazes’ work.
Milhazes, who takes inspiration from the brilliant flora and fauna of Brazil, local folk arts, and Matisse’s cut-out paper silhouettes, creates abstract works that exalt the beauty of the natural world. These new abstract works combine a vivid sub-tropical palette with sharper geometric forms to create an intense visual experience.
