Abstraction in Art

Abstraction in art refers to a style that moves away from depicting realistic, recognizable subjects. Instead, artists use shapes, colors, lines, and textures to express feelings, ideas, or moods. It emphasizes the visual elements themselves rather than representing the physical world accurately. This approach invites viewers to interpret the artwork personally, engaging their imagination and emotions. Abstraction can range from subtle deviations from reality to completely non-representational forms, allowing artists to explore creativity beyond realistic depiction and evoke deeper, more subjective reactions.
