Abstract art, an attempt to make a visual representation of reality. An imperfect depiction of what is perceived by the eyes and translated by the brain. Abstract art benefits the artist as a way to express their thoughts visually. Abstract art can convey various interpretations from the viewer’s point of view but regardless, no matter how colors combine and connect, there is a story behind every creation.
