Abstraction Side By Sides: the place and its painting.

Examples of how borrowing colors, patterns, shapes and mood, can inspire an abstract painting that represents not only how a place looks, but also how it feels. An abstract work leaves space for another key ingredient: the viewer’s own experience, memories and interpretation. Check out the examples below to see a place and its painting, all while giving you space to find whatever you are looking for.
