Lot Essay

'I use elements from my culture, and colour is one of them, but I'm the only one to do so... I recently found that 'freedom' is a word that describes my work well. I think what characterizes my work is the freedom with which it combines different concepts, images, colours,
abstraction and figuration, all within a very rational and geometric
painting. My way of working uses freedom with order.'
(The artist quoted in interview with L. Sacramone, in Beatriz Milhazes, exh. cat., Paris, Fondation Cartier pour l'Art Contemporain, 2009, p. 14).
