the emotional power of abstract art

Delicate details of a White Lily petal in demise.

  
     Abstract art can evoke a powerful emotions. It can draw out people to talk about it and what they see.  Having a conversation starter in your home can be a good thing.

     Abstract art was born  out of a need for artists to express the changing world in new ways.  Pushing against existing boundaries and going into new territories is a powerful avenue of expression.  Today with all the digital tools available to artists there is a whole new realm of expression to explore.

     Often times it is wither a like it or hate it situation for the viewing public.  I have seen some pieces that I really like and others that made me wonder why.  But I leave my mind open and view each piece individually and not as an entire genre. Something that can make me wonder when I look at it is a good thing.

     The photograph shown here is an image I made of a lily petal that had fallen onto the table.  But when I shot it as a macro image it suddenly becomes abstract.  Now it makes you wonder what it was or what it could be.  Except that I already told you on this one.  Images like this make good additions to your home decor because it has the power to draw out your imagination and that is powerful.
