Marotoloco by Beatriz Milhazes is an acrylic painting on a square canvas that measures two and a half feet by two and a half feet. This painting is an example of an abstraction, which is a style of painting that focuses on the gestural movement of shapes and colors rather than depicting scenes or figures.  The painting is arranged in a squared canvas and has five distinct rectangular sections. Starting from the left is the first and thinnest rectangular section. At the top there is a solid section of green paint that is met at the bottom by a section of white. At the bottom a thinner section of red paint splits the white section. Moving right, the second section contains horizontal lines of alternating colors that go down the entire height of the section: blue, dark green, and light green. Within it there are various shapes. At the top of this section, a shape resembling a three-pointed leaf that is green, black, and white.  In the middle, a series of circles that resemble a target or bullseye shape. The rings are black, green, red, purple, white, and yellow. At the bottom there are two more three-pointed leaf shapes that are red and a mixture of red and white. Continuing right, aligning with the center line of the canvas, the third section has a base layer of green and white paint with circular shapes. Over this layer there are see target shapes again of various colors that intersect the section to the right and left of this one. The target shapes are blue, purple, black, yellow, orange, pink, light blue, and red. Some of the targets are cut off at the middle, marking the fourth section of the painting. The fourth section is dense with target shapes, overlapping colors, and a large oval at the top. The bullseye shapes are shades of green, blue, black, red, teal, pink, orange, and yellow. One is cut off at the middle and the rest overlap sections of color. The large oval is pink surrounded by a black rectangular frame. The fifth and final section completes the oval from the previous section, however instead of being pink appears to be see-through, allowing us to see the base layer of painted shapes which are brown, pink, light blue, and white squares and rectangles. This base layer continues the entire length of this last section however it is partially hidden by a pattern of diagonal lines that are purple. In the middle there are two more bullseye shapes that are light blue, yellow, orange, black, red, bright red, and bright green.
