Modern Abstracts

Hi everyone!

Every so often I feel this creative urge to paint wildly abstract. Abstract art has always been the style that I'm most drawn to, even as a teenager! You wouldn't have found any posters of TV stars on my bedroom walls at that time - instead I hung pictures with bold, abstracted images! I like that modern abstracts leave room for imagination and evoke an emotional response. When I paint abstract I try to capture a feeling and use color to tell a story. 
Below I'm sharing my recent practice pieces I painted in my journal. This is a useful exercise for when I decide to go large. This artwork was inspired by both nature and urban environments.

I've already heard some interesting interpretations of my artwork from people on another platform. I would love to know what you see when observing these paintings. Let me know in the comments.

Thank you for visiting and have a lovely day!

Abstract art is a style that truly speaks to me because it’s like transferring your thoughts and emotions exactly as they are! Congratulations on everything you do.

Liebe Duni , beim 3 Bild sehe ich einen Mensch dort sitzen , es ist irgendwie traurig dass die Welt so kaputt ist ... und anderes lustig bunt aufregend das letzte Bild. Abstrakte Kunst hast du toll gemacht!
Schönes Wochenende wünsche ich dir!
Lieben Gruss Elke

The third one down has me thinking of an ocean scene. The long tails on the blue circle remind me of a jellyfish. I especially enjoy the last picture and the colors used. It has a late 80's early 90's vibe to it.
