Beatriz was born in Rio de Janeiro in 1960, and grew up in Copacabana. She got her degree in journalism and went on to teach math at a local high school. But when she was twenty, she got into the School of Fine Arts of Rio, and discovered her love of art.<\/p>\n

Last month, Beatriz’s painting “O M\u00e1gico” sold for US$1,049,000 at Sotheby’s in New York to an Argentine collector, breaking the record for the most expensive painting by a living Brazilian artist. Her pieces usually sell for US$150,000 to US$300,000. Her work has been on display at MoMa, the Guggenheim, the Queen Sofia Museum, and the Tate Modern. She has also designed art for dance companies, a London metro station, the Tate Museum restaurant, and Selfridge’s Department store in the UK.<\/p>\n
Beatriz designs still lifes and abstract art, with inspirations from Rio’s Carnival, tropicalism, and baroque art. The piece above is entitled “Noite de ver\u00e3o” (Summer Night).<\/p>\n
