Art Objects for Everyday Life

At a certain stage in her career Beatriz Millar extended her work beyond the studio, translating symbolic imagery into functional objects intended for daily use. The project situates art within lived environments rather than exclusively contemplative contexts.

The trajectory begins with the Tarot series, reconfigured as plexiglass placemats and melamine trays. Ritual symbols are adapted into domestic surfaces, shifting from divinatory context to everyday gesture.

From this transition emerges a broader collection:

• furniture elements that carry forward the spatial energy of earlier sculptural works
• PETG earrings whose translucent material and coloration evoke gemstones in a contemporary, lightweight format
• scarves that transpose the artist’s visual vocabulary onto the body

Additional works include vases derived from the geometries of the Tangram Rooms, tattooed plates, and T-shirts referencing the Piano Tattoo motif.

The automobile itself becomes artwork in the Tattoo Car, conceived as a mobile sculptural intervention.

The collection also incorporates smaller-scale objects:

• pot holders featuring bread-women motifs
• tin boxes—round, rectangular, or heart-shaped—decorated with mouths or bread figures
• coasters that reposition a routine gesture within the artist’s symbolic framework

These works operate as extensions of the artistic practice into everyday space. Rather than functioning solely as aesthetic objects, they establish continuity between artistic language and domestic life.
