Paintings Of Abstract Art

View:

The word Abstract Art derives from the latin origin that means diversion. It is realisation of artistic expression to reject real life. Abstract art is a combination of colours and linear forms. Abstract artwork can take its viewer to another world - world of imagination, world beyond the worlds. Today it became very popular to decorate one's house and office with abstract art - it gives that unique touch and classic stylish look.

THE EMERGENCE OF ABSTRACT ART

Abstract Art was recognised as an individual, artistic movement at the beginning of the 20th century. It established itself gradually and made a strong impression on its audiences. Abstract art exists for centuries. Since ancient times people feel irresistable creativity to draw pictures consisting of mystical shapes, mixture of colours and lines. Abstract forms can be found in the ornamental paintings of many cultures. So, why have abstract paintings been a means of self-expression and a voice for so many artists abroad for thousands of years?

ABSTRACT ART AND FEELINGS

Many artists rejected painting concrete, 'real-life' objects, since they felt that they did not express the multitude of human feelings and sufferings. Could it be that love, admiration, trust and belief are expressed in a form of images? It is evident that these feelings exist as colours in the mind of the artist. Many images that represent the spiritual suffering of the artists have been translated into colourful imagery on the canvases of abstract paintings. In rejecting 'real-life' forms, the artists can delve into their souls and transfer, as much as possible, the internal, spiritual side of a person in their paintings.

The famous Russian artist, V.Kandinski (1866-1944) strongly believed that depictions of subjects and landscapes restrict the self-expression of the artist. As a consequence, he felt that abstraction liberated his imagination and allowed him to splash out his feelings through multi-coloured imagery.

ABSTRACT ART AND MUSIC

In some ways, Abstract Art resembles music. Like Abstract Act, Music does not display known and recognisable forms, but enlivens the soul to a multitude of feelings and experiences through sound. Abstract Art conjures up the same types of feelings but through paint. Like with Music, Art is a means of expressing the spiritual side of a person. Vasilii Kandinskii even graced many of his works with musical names, such as "Improvisation" and "Composition." Kandinskii often spoke of sounds and the full "choir of paints". Some people even say that Kandinskii managed to expresse world of music in his artworks.

ABSTRACT, SPIRITUAL CREATIONS

With the help of paint, Abstract Art allows artists to express human beings' most spiritual feelings; their faith, their prayers and their love of God. A devoted portrayer of ABSTRACT, SPIRITUAL CREATIONS is the young Moscow artist Maria Skrebtsova. She claims that "I have moments in my life where I want to rise above the limitations of words and depict an array of great and fascinating images of creation in wonderful colours. And then the paintings just happen. They are not landscapes, portraits or still-life paintings. They are an attempt to portray God's love through the eyes of a person who is hungry to feel the love of God. My paintings are symbols of a generation of spiritual people who are testament to the strength of God's love that is ever-present in this world."

CHARISMATIC STRENGTH OF ABSTRACT, SPIRITUAL CREATIONS

Acquaintances and friends of Maria Skrebstova often inform her that her paintings help them in difficult, testing times, as a supplement for prayer and meditation. At a first glance, several people conjure up thoughts of the importance of spirituality. Understanding that there is a holy world beyond the world we know is always uplifting for people. The charismatic paintings of abstract artist ignite others with light and colour!

Mystical artworks in the gallery Russian Artist.info are amazing images that provide 'art therapy.' Each one builds on the spiritual and harmonious world.

If one could gather the best abstract paintings of the world into one museum, it would be a place where no words were needed; where the world of peace, belief and admiration could culminate. That place would become a sanctuary for love, a haven for PEOPLE'S SPIRITUAL EXISTENCE.

Paintings Of Abstract Art

I have always loved bright colors and movement, like dancing its healing, relaxing fulfilling and challenging as well. The bottom line is the feeling and message that I want to convey through the medium. When I paint, every attempt is to capture the feel of warmth, passion, joy and bliss in none objective or figurative composition. I enjoy experimentation of different media and subjects.

My subject varies based on my emotion and statement but my love for colors is constant. In spite of this, viewers see different forms or figures in my abstract expressions. The good thing about these expressions is the freedom of the viewers to see and appreciate the forms in their mind's eyes, like face painting in the eye of the viewer. Its also important to mention that "Uli" which is my traditional art style has played a major role in my age long career. The symbols and forms of this art style are reflected in my cubism, abstract images, abstract relief sculpture, seascape, drawing, pastels and watercolor painting.

People see different forms or images in abstract art, the depth of what you actually see when you look at the paintings is partly based on individual exposure and understanding of art forms, color, shapes, line and texture; which are the physical elements that combine to make up the artworks.

A selection of different dark hues, shapes and forms may give various impressions to different minds; light, airy images as mystical; balanced, temperate forms as peaceful. Uli organic forms and shape are symbolical such as colors and forms have meaning in and of themselves. It is a simple truth that you can't give what you don't have. I am a believer and my work time is also a meditation time, which can go either way depending on the spiritual consciousness of the creative mind.

To me, my work section is an intimate moment between I, canvas and colors. At this creative moment there is a spiritual impartation from the artist to the Art. Hence the emotional reaction to these elements even if they create no recognizable object for us to hang onto.

I enjoy the inclusion and deletion of space. The handling of space or the

illusion of space is another powerful element in the artist's mind. If you are drawn into a yard of three-dimensional space stretching beyond the framework of the painting to sculpture, you are not alone. The impression of depth, perspective, airiness, solidity, textures and other spatial relations are created and controlled to achieve a desired goal.

The overall composition or design of my painting or sculpture is created to guide the viewer's eyes to understanding and appreciation of the images.

I must admit, most of my figurative compositions is a celebration of womanhood, which I am very proud to be part of for they are the seats of wisdom and knowledge.

I pride in the feeling and reactions of my clients and viewers to my creations. I feel blessed in many ways than words can express. The challenge sometimes is getting the composition right, or balancing the elements of color, lines and shapes while maintaining a dynamic tension and massage beneath.

Energy is the life force that is present in all good art. This is not something that is easily defined. The life force of every work I do is the same, but different energy and different statements. It is this peculiar energy that makes my works speak to you, and makes them unique, original and identifiable to me. This energy is created out of experience and self-awareness, materials and tools, but the end is more than the means in the same sense that a musical composition is so much more than a collection of notes.

You are welcome into my world of abstract wall art or modern art, relax and let your eye leisurely wander over the collection of verities of art forms and styles. Let your heart and mind react to my colors, shapes, figures and textures. Come and spoil yourself a little in the illusion of vibrant spaces, the movement of lines and the mood of blissful atmosphere.

Come, come up close and explore the intricacies of brushstrokes, spatula- strokes, paint thickness, textures and compositional details. Enjoy how the parts are woven together to form the whole.

Take your time. My artwork cannot be understood and appreciated in a ten second glance. Allow my art to grow on you, becoming more interesting and more enjoyable to look at as you live with it.
