I once considered representational art one of the best forms of art, but that was before I exposed myself to other forms. I see abstract as a way of finding your own way of creating. When I discovered abstract painting, that’s when I realized I could paint however I wanted and whatever I desired. Abstraction has given me the ability to experiment more with shapes, color combinations, and I barely worry about making anything perfect or worry about being accurate with what I’m drawing. I love abstraction art because it offers the freedom to play and with process, materials, and tools. I’m able to create with just my imagination and I’m able to experiment with different techniques and mediums. If an artist has more freedom, it’s more likely to help them discover their own style. Finding your own way of creating is difficult, but it’s also exciting.
