‘LOVE IS THE PURSUIT OF THE WHOLE’ - Plato
My love for a work of art is an intimate affair. I end up with a relationship with what I create. When the work is abstract, there are endless reasons for my attraction. Abstract art is an abstraction. It does not represent anything. It is nonobjective. Instead of depicting what I recognize in the world of objects, people and nature, abstract art is concerned with color, line, form, and texture. It is not reality-based but emotionally-based. It is expressive and gestural. As an artist, I am driven to express what I see and feel. SANJAYA SENAVIRATHNA APRIL 2017
