Flamyers (abstract painting) Print

What/Who inspired the work? The inspiration for this work seems to have come from the intrinsic and emotional nature of color and form, exploring how expressive brushstrokes and warm colors can evoke intense feelings and abstract visions. Abstract expressionist artists, such as Mark Rothko or de Kooning, known for their emotive approaches and use of color to express feelings, may have served as inspiration. The choice of reddish hues suggests inspiration from the deepest human emotions, such as passion or love, reflecting beauty. What do you hope the viewers feel/think? The goal might be for people to experience a range of deep and personal sensations when interacting with the work, encouraging them to reflect on their own experiences. The art aims to evoke a sense of warmth, passion, and perhaps even a certain discomfort caused by the intense colors and rough brushstrokes. The abstract painting is expected to stimulate introspection and offer a transcendental experience, allowing viewers a temporary escape from concrete reality to a world of emotional and aesthetic contemplation. Why did you choose the medium, the subject, the style? The medium of abstract painting is part of my main expression, for its ability to transcend the limitations of literal representation, offering a canvas for the pure expression of emotion and energy through color and form. The subject, centered on the sensory experience evoked by warm colors and expressive brushstrokes, was selected to explore aesthetic complexity. The abstract expressionist style was adopted for its emphasis on individual emotional expression, allowing for a more personal exploration of reddish hues and textures created by wide brushstrokes. The choice of this style reflects a desire to communicate the most intangible aspects of human experience, challenging viewers to find meaning and connection in visual abstractions.
