Abstract artists painting – an example, a composition Earth and the Sun

Abstract artists create non-representational paintings, which is a logical pursuit. However, the term "abstract artist" itself is rather elusive. Could it be that, as individuals, these artists are as undefined as the compositions they bring to life? We tend to simplify things, so when we encounter a name alongside a non-representational painting, we assume the creator is an abstract artist. Yet, this artist is not entirely abstract - they are a living person who expresses themselves through their artwork. And because they have a multitude of ideas to convey, they choose the abstract form of composition to engage the viewer in a dialogue with their painting, allowing the viewer to freely interpret it. However, this freedom is not boundless. Abstract artists subtly guide the viewer's thoughts through the colors and forms, suggesting a particular direction.
Abstract paintings refer to real objects
Even famous abstract artists confessed that the source of the composition exists in reality. Pablo Picasso, considered as famous abstract artist used to deny this definition. He rearranged the eyes, night and mouth in his portraits at will. He gave them the character of an abstract puzzle. However, even in this jumble, their original features can be recognised. This is why, for some viewers, Picasso is an abstract artist .
My painting Earth and the Sun captures a small fragment of the earth that often goes unnoticed unless we take a moment to observe the ground beneath our feet. This tiny piece is adorned with speckles of various shapes, transformed into glistening gemstones by the sun's rays, akin to a scene from a fairy tale. The image possesses an enchanting quality, promising treasures that are within our grasp if we simply extend our hand. Everything that blankets the earth, including this minuscule patch beneath our feet, is teeming with a diverse array of particles. These particles come together to form abstract compositions that bring immense joy to artists working in this style. And thus, a painting by abstract artists is born.

The colour grey
Grey means monotony, the commonplace, the absence of colour. I chose it anyway for many of my monotypes — for one practical reason, and one that is not.

The Grey Man and the Secret He Is Holding
In Polish we say szary człowiek — the grey man — of someone who does not catch the eye, who lives quietly and holds neither power nor fame. Grey is neither warm nor cold; it suits the ordinary person exactly. My grey man sits facing you, his head tilted, holding a secret he seems to want to hide inside himself.

To Each Our Own
All the prints in the series Human are vertical. This one lies down — a woman and a man resting side by side, both cut off at the legs by a frame that isn't there. I no longer remember why. What I do remember is what happened when their legs joined instead of crossing.
