Abstract art- can help to identify our deeper emotions

When I felt inspired to take on painting, it was about expressing the myriads of colors and textures!! Because of this, even though I appreciate any nice structured painting- like all the famous art in Louvre, it was (still is the case) not for me.
​
I prefer abstract painting, because, similar to life- the interpretation that one finds in any abstract visual work- depends on one’s own inner being. 
When we see an abstract painting, it tends to bring up our deeper emotions to surface. Then, if one is to observe one’s own reaction to any painting (particularly abstract) then you will find that it helps one to identify one’s own shadow and repressed side.

Once such emotions come to light, then atleast we have taken the first step towards addressing our deeper challenges.

Does this help only the observer or also the artist? Actually- both people.

When the artist paints with abandon, then they are creating content from their inner depth by releasing any ‘stuck emotions’ from within - that is how art can and has been used successfully as a therapeutic medium, over the years.

You can check out more about Art Therapy, if you are not very familiar with that concept.
​
And then, when one observes such a painting, it nudges and probes and prods the deeper essence within the observer.
Such is the real and true beauty of abstract art- it is truly in the eye of the beholder!!

This is one of my first artwork. It is made with acrylic paints using a sponge.

What do you see in this painting? What do the colors mean for you? What emotions do they conjure up within you? Observer how you feel and see if you can identify your deeper emotions and also your latent potential…

This is one of my initial abstract artworks. It was inspired after my road-trip across 1/3 rd. of Canada. That is saying quite much- since Canada is the second largest country in the world!! You can read the full travel-story here…

But, when I got back from this trip- there was something so enthralling about the magnificent Prairies with its tall grass- looking golden-green in the bright rays of the mid-day May sun, that I decided to capture its essence- which I feel is easier done in Abstract art, where there is the gap between the artist’s creation and the viewer’s interpretation- and that gap can hold the true essence of that work.

It can be the divine space, where two people can look at the same art and completely feel two separate things about the same work!

This painting here tries to capture the essence of the beautiful Prairies of Manitoba in summer along with the wild jungle-paths thru Ontario.

It is made using acrylic paints with sgraffito painting technique- no brush… only fingers and knives! 

Though sgraffito technique is typically used for pottery and ceramics, I have used the similar principles for creating this abstract artwork. ​
