Why Do We Love Abstract Art? On Emotions, Imagination, and Hidden Meanings

When I was a child, I thought a good artist was one who could reproduce reality perfectly. The more a painting resembled a photograph — the greater my admiration.

When I was a child, I thought a good artist was one who could reproduce reality perfectly. The more a painting resembled a photograph — the greater my admiration.

But today I know that art isn't just technique. It's a way of talking about things that can't be put into words.

Abstraction gives me that freedom.

It's a space for emotion, movement, silence, and questions.

You don't have to know "what it depicts." It's enough that you feel something.

I have the impression that people close to art are naturally drawn to abstraction — because they see in it not chaos, but meaning.

But I believe it's a language accessible to anyone who opens themselves up to interpretation.

In my own work — both the more intuitive pieces and those with a clear structure — I'm searching for that space between "I know" and "I feel."

And nothing brings me more joy than when someone sees something completely different in my work than what I see myself.

Abstraction doesn't have to be difficult. It has to be true.

And maybe that's exactly why I keep coming back to it.
