Opera and nature in Beatriz Milhazes's collages

"I've been inspired by the four seasons," Beatriz Milhazes is quoted in Editora Cobogó's wonderful new book of the artist's collages. "Nature changes from one season to another and often motivates me to be an artist and develop things using this feeling. It probably comes from my passion for opera. Very often classical composers worked with the change of the seasons and how it influenced the drama of the characters. It is about creating areas of importance and how they can dialogue together, how they can make a composition from their own temperature and intensity." Featured image is "Mundy" (2011).
