This is an oil painting on canvas, created in France between 1980 and 1985 using a mixed technique that combines both brush and palette knife work. Recently, the canvas was mounted on a sturdy wooden frame and finished with a slim black border. The artist first used traditional brushes to sketch the initial composition, shaping the entire design with fluid, confident strokes. This painting is not merely a display of technical skill; rather, the artist conveys their inner essence through the language of colors and forms. The work was then refined using the palette knife technique, applying thick layers of paint to create depth and a rich, textured surface. The artist’s painting style is inspired by Abstract Art, a movement that does not depict reality but instead creates images that express concepts through the interplay of shapes, colors, and lines. Abstract art progressively simplifies the image to the point of making it unrecognizable, assigning symbolic meanings to colors that are not immediately apparent without interpretation. The fundamental principle of Abstract Art is that art should not imitate reality. This particular piece falls within the realm of Lyrical Abstraction, which grants the artist complete freedom to explore their imagination and inner world. The painting has no title and presents itself as a composition of color patches that reflect the artist’s emotions, allowing them to freely express their creativity without constraints or conventions. Abstract Art officially emerged in 1910 when Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky created a watercolor, now considered the first abstract artwork in art history (currently housed at the Centre Pompidou in Paris). Since then, abstract painting has evolved in various styles and remains a relevant artistic movement today. The painting before you, with its dynamic shapes and vibrant color palette, conveys a sense of lightness and motion. Abstract Art, one of the leading artistic trends of the 20th century, is defined by its rejection of figurative representation, instead focusing on forms and colors chosen purely for their expressive value. More than just a visual revolution, abstract expression was a step forward in reimagining art as a means to transform and improve the world.
