In Sinfonia Nordestina, Beatriz Milhazes starts with color and the circle and divides the canvas into two halves. On the right, she uses multicolored geometric patterns. These grid patterns allude to arabesque motifs and elements of Brazilian baroque. Flowers are also painted and multicolored lines appear as the background of the canvas. Over this conglomeration of patterns, Milhazes paints a composition based on the circle, usually in bright, flat colors. On the left, the artist highlights the circular composition, as she abandons the chromaticism of the background and replaces it with a light, flat color.

Em Sinfonia Nordestina, Beatriz Milhazes parte da cor e do círculo e divide a tela em duas metades. À direita, ela usa padrões geométricos multicoloridos. Esses padrões de grade aludem à motivos arabescos e elementos do barroco brasileiro. Também são pintadas flores e linhas multicoloridas aparecem como plano de fundo da tela. Sobre esse conglomerado de padrões, Milhazes pinta uma composição baseada no círculo, geralmente em cores brilhantes e planas. À esquerda, a artista destaca a composição circular, pois abandona o cromatismo do fundo e o substitui por uma cor clara e plana.
