I'm one of those people who, while I don't really understand the deeper meaning of abstract art, can really enjoy the colors and shapes. It's just visual appeal. I think that the majority of these hit that mark. It kinda makes me want to try.

[@Saffirance]

I think the meaning in most art is made up. A good abstract should just look cool, be pretty or edgy and be a good decoration for a wall. A great abstract can make the room and can invoke feelings. I'm an artist and the message I am sending with my art is usually " I'm pretty to look at and you need to buy me because you've never seen any art more beautiful. It's one of a kind you must have it!" I'm not sending a political statement or have some deep meaning behind it. I saw something that inspired me and I painted it. You are not the only one that doesn't get the meaning. Likely there was never a meaning to get. Some people would like you to feel dumb for not seeing the meaning. It just makes them feel smart. Ignore that stuff.

[@Saffirance]

Go ahead and try. It's finished when it looks good. Otherwise keep going. Mix colors first. Color right out of the tube can be less interesting unless you are going for those really bright vivid. It might help to look at things you think are pretty and use those colors together that you already know you like together. Some colors just don't look great side by side. That should help you succeed. You can so do this. Abstract can be just playing with paint until a happy accident makes it look good. Having a plan helps. You can take a photo and enhance it in photo shop until it doesn't look like anything anymore and try to paint it if it looks cool. That's my advice and yes anyone who cares enough to put in the time can make art. Have fun!

My favourite branch of abstract art is abstracted art, studying an object, scene or a person and emphasizing specific shapes or colours, it would be interesting to see you create abstract shapes from sculptures or paintings you've done before, like an in-between your normal style and abstract or even a series/progress from your normal style to abstract

[@KaiSub]

Abstract is such a large spectrum that I don't think it's fair to say "I do not like abstract art" I don't like most abstract paintings, and I don't really like abstract sculptures, but at the same time I've seen some fucking amazing abstract art (Peter Draws for example) It's hard to lump everything abstract into one category, even though it is all abstract...

[@joan1609]

People tend to be referring to incomprehensible images of random shapes, splats, and scribbles; in which case it is completely fair to say they don't like it. They could use more words to specify what they mean, but in the end we know exactly what they mean without doing that. So I disagree.

I like the curves of it and it all seems to flow together. I also love the colour scheme, I like how the colours work together and I love the shine that the gold provided, for me it added to the piece and complimented all the other aspects of it.

[@Piggiemushroom]

As someone who loves abstract art and values it quite highly I thought I'd throw in my two cents here. I am studying art in college and my painting teacher told us that abstract art is actually the most difficult to get "right". And I agree. The term abstraction itself goes into all art-making. In order to depict anything you are painting you have to begin to simplify it as you can not for example paint every single leaf on a tree. When people say abstract art what they generally mean is that something has been abstracted and simplified to the point of non recognizable forms. However just because this has happened it does not mean that the rules of form and composition are thrown out. The illusion of space can still be created and requires some skill to form. Balance, line, shape, texture they're all still important and if you cannot balance them within a piece that's when it looks "bad". Color theory is also another huge part of it and I feel where many people trip up. For the abstract art that I enjoy and gain great inspiration from they are not only emotional but also incredibly planned and filled with knowledge and skill. I really enjoyed you're pieces but for example the grey and green one you hung up- It is lovely but if you wanted more interest and depth I would've loved to see you add some cooler dark tones to the grey to help push it back in space and then mix in maybe some yellow into the green and layer it on top to pull it forward and create a greater play of tones within the piece. Glad to see you going out of your comfort zone! If you've reached the end of this rant thanks! I didn't plan for It to be so long!

[@elisa7357]

As much as I would love to agree with you, things like that, overthinking a piece, and executing it "according to rules, and how it should be perceived" takes the joy out of creating art, art is emotion, a feeling. If you can't paint without that, a painting even abstract would mean nothing. :)

[@Piggiemushroom]

Elisa Metz very true. And I agree and I feel especially in the beginning it is good to learn but not get hung up on the "rules" (which I feel are more of a guide- one thing I love is when people can break those rules in a successful way, if everyone followed the rules we'd have no progression). I feel though that as you grow as an artist you Increase your skill and are able to combine that with the emotion- which is, I think, what I most admire. There's something so thrilling about seeing not only a piece filled with emotion and meaning but also a piece so fluidly and naturally balanced, with each color playing off of the other with perfect harmony- I feel that is the place that most artists desire to reach. Before going to art school I foolishly though that abstract was easy and tried it myself ending up with an unappealing mess that made me feel quite empty, but now I feel the things I have learned are not necessarily rules but just facts of art have made me more free and excited to create. I now know how to move the eye, how to make it pause and how to trick it into perceiving depth and motion etc and that's really fun. I hope that responded to your comment lol I realize I went off on a tangent again

[@elisa7357]

@@Piggiemushroom It's cool, dw ;) - It's I guess how I feel at the moment, not being into art, because it was criticized most of the time, which kept me from creating art from heart, and trying to make it "perfect" so it would appeal to people (my parents in this case) so.. ye ^^

Elisa Metz I hope you continue to make art! I am actually studying to be an art therapist and as much as the technical nerdy side of art (the but I've been rambling about) excites me, what I am going to be doing in my practice is very much what you describe! Our ability to create- no matter in what form is so incredible and I feel all art has value no matter if it is highly informed by tons of rules or bursting with emotions. I hope I don't discourage anyone into thinking they have to know the ins and outs of what I was talking about to be an artist because as you said it is so much about your emotion too. This external depiction of internal processes. Keep creating and thanks for having this discussion with me!

[@XSaffie_LoveX]

I personally would have loved to see some purple in the gold foil picture cos purple and yellow are just my entire aesthetic lol 😁. But from what I can tell, abstract art is not about what other people think we should do, it is something that comes from your own imagination. I'd love to create one full of galaxy colours.. 😍

[@MommaMiri]

I absolutely love your self-portrait and a few of the others are wonderful. I love that you actually tried to do so well and you enjoyed it, as well. I'm an abstract artist, but I do a bit of realism as well. I love seeing you trying so many different things. It's always so cool to see what you can do.

[@arcticdefender9984]

I still remember that mini etch a sketch.. XD

[@robertpowell9982]

Thing is...Art is abstract at it's core. When you go to paint a tree or a house or a boat you usually start with a relatively abstract shape and then try to turn it into something comprehendable as the subject you are doing. Usually involving various abstract shapes that work together to create the illusion of a tree, or a house, or a boat...or at least with the intent. From a design stand point, abstract can become even more important since it allows you to make something out of nothing and often times that something is something that is, in and of itself, uncomprehendable because it's something that doesn't exist. Or doesn't exist yet depending on what you are designing.

[@Quetzaluki]

You could even take that a step farther and consider the nature of realism vs. representation. When you create art, no matter how "realistic" it is, it's still not real-you're still creating something representational. :) Jazza's painting of the abstract cat is just as real as a "photorealistic" painting of a cat, and just as much art.

[@robertpowell9982]

@@QuetzalukiVery true. The real world as we see it is not what it appears to be as we only see our own perception of the world around us. And what we see is merely a set of abstract shapes and our brains have evolved to make sense of these shapes. Not much different than the pixels on the screen we are viewing right now.

Try painting something only using potatos as tools. You can cut/carve/etc. them, but it must be 100% potato. I would combine painting and printing to get some cool textures. Everybody has done a potato print picture in kindergarten, but I'm curious about what you can do with it.

[@miunya]

I like the distance one as it gives art deco vibes and I like that

[@eldrin426]

I love the dark one with orange/pink and stripes, also the gold leaf, the piece feels so warm and inviting (like those days as a kid when it was slow and sunny and you felt happy but in a relaxed sense), the green and gray is not my favorite but it looks great in the context of it's environment. And of course the self portrait is stunning, very visually appealing.

[@chiarifairy6862]

I really liked "Cat", the self portrait, and the accent piece for your room. I definitely more agree with the idea abstract art is useful for interior design, I just don't get the idea of random lines and squiggles representing emotions, though as you mentioned it's an umbrella term. I do like abstract art such as your self portrait or "Cat" that still look like something.

[@durdleduc8520]

I’d say that abstract art is definitely a creativity thing. Creativity itself comes in so many shapes and sizes, and everyone is slightly different creatively. I myself understand the connection of abstract art and emotion and I’ve always had trouble drawing or painting objects/animals/people especially with confidence, while abstract doodles were therapeutic and carry meaning with me. It probably connects to my interest in poetry. And you know what? That’s okay! All types of art is awesome, including the art of people, animals, places, objects.. and the idea of being able to draw them well sounds amazing, I just don’t have the right creative mindset (I can do realistic drawings semi-okay if i have an hd reference that i’m copying but that’s different) and that’s perfectly fine! We’re all creative people and that itself is something to bond over.

[@poppiam6460]

I really connected with distance. I was drawn to it. the harsh lines and silver rectangles seemed so proper and posh, whereas the curved lines weren't perfectly spaced and even, which seemed to distance from the very proper rectangles and lines. The curved lines seemed playful and perhaps like the more relaxed/loose side of a very stern posh person. Perhaps the playful side was so distant from the stern person they had lost their fun self in the process.
