Richter used abstract impressionism - a method that blends Impressionism’s focus on light and movement with abstract forms.

Layered pigments build hypnotic depth, while smeared gestures dissolve boundaries between accident and intention. My goal with this series was to invite viewers to sense the emotion behind the artwork, rather than identify form. Transparency and opacity interact like fleeting thoughts, producing a visceral tension that hovers between chaos, clarity, and contemplative quiet. See less
