Abstract: We consider knotted surfaces and their graphical description that include 2-dimensional braids and their chart description. We introduce a new construction of surfaces in

D^{2} i m e s I i m e s I

, called BMW surfaces, that are described as the trace of deformations of tangles generated by generators

g_{i}, g_{i}^{- 1}, e_{i}

of the BMW (Birman-Murakami-Wenzl) algebras, where

g_{i}

and

g_{i}^{- 1}

are a standard generator of the

n

-braid group and its inverse, and

e_{i}

is a tangle consisting of a pair of "hooks". And we introduce a notion of BMW charts that are graphs in

I i m e s I

and show that a BMW surface has a BMW chart description.
