This is an abstract painting that expresses my emotions and feelings through colors and shapes. I have used a mix of green, blue and purple colors to create a contrast between the warm and cool tones.
Contemplating
The person’s face and upper body are painted in profile, with their eyes closed and their head tilted upwards. This suggests that the person is in a state of meditation or contemplation, or perhaps dreaming. The person’s arms are crossed over their chest, which could indicate a sense of protection or self-care. The background is a mix of green and blue, with a hint of purple. This could represent the natural environment, such as the sky, the sea, or the earth. The painting has a textured, brushstroke-like appearance, which gives it a sense of movement and dynamism.
The image below is an example of surreal art, which is a style of art that uses illogical and irrational imagery to create visual effects and meanings.
Does this feel more surreal. the image that combines elements of nature and humanity in a disturbing and intriguing way. The plant with human-like hands and faces as the main subject of the image, creating a sense of contrast and contradiction. The plant has large green leaves and orange flowers, which are typical features of natural beauty and life. However, the hands and faces are a pale peach color and appear to be reaching out from the plant, which are signs of human presence and expression. The background is a mix of green and orange colors, with a textured, almost watercolor-like effect, which adds to the artistic and abstract quality of the image. Is the overall mood of the image is eerie and unsettling, does it challenge the viewer’s perception of reality and nature? The image is an example of surreal art, which is a style of art that uses illogical and irrational imagery to create visual effects and meanings.
Interpreting art is subjective and can vary based on personal perspectives and emotions. It involves analyzing elements like composition, color, and symbolism to understand the artwork’s meaning and message. Remember to approach art with an open mind and allow your own emotional response to guide your interpretation.
ART BY RITVA 
I will probably just show my ignorance here. I’m an art student and a senior citizen.
I love both of these renderings. I consider them both to be representational/figurative because of the clear image of the woman (you?). Labeling either as abstract or surreal doesn’t matter to me; I’m drawn to and really love the images.
I don’t tend to consider representational/figurative art abstract because it represents a thing (or person or place). I tend to think of abstract as something that is made to evoke feelings or thoughts without the use of real things (or people or places). Nonetheless, that is only my own way of looking at it and I love both pieces. The color schemes used in each give me very different feelings but my eye always lands on the woman, the crown of the pieces. The greener one evokes the woman in a natural setting; the red in a harsher or passionate or perhaps dangerous setting.
That is as valid take on them as anyone’s else. I think art is too often labelled – I also have started to do so as It is a way of finding an audience to my works. Mostly I call them contemporary. Thanks so much for taking time to share your thoughts with me. I appreciate your comments,
I think contemporary is a good word.
🙂
Surreal or abstract? Well, what I can say for sure is that I really like it!
Thank you so much for taking time to comment and like my art. Much appreciated 🙂
Great topic and I love your art as well. Thank you for sharing it! The first comment by Aleksandar sparked interest. I agree with your comment in return saying that you can find abstract art in almost any image if you make it larger. The fact is though that when you do make it larger, there are not figures in what you see. There lay the difference, that is in my point of view anyway. I don’t see how you could take a realistic artist for example and say that their art is exactly the same as an abstract artist. How could Jackson Pollock or Lee Krasner be the same as Salvador Dali or Frida Kahlo? I just can’t see that. Perhaps I’m looking at it wrong. What are your thoughts?
My personal opinion is that every picture is abstract. Although I haven’t documented that belief, I rely on logic and some knowledge. If we magnify any image down to the tiniest details, we’ll see that it is just a collection of abstract smudges. The magic is certainly not in the colors or the strokes, but in the eye and the harmony of those colors in the eye, which brings us to what you already mentioned, personal perception. A surreal picture is essentially abstract because it’s a collection of smudges, but its visual form is surreal.
SORRY for the late response, I agree. If you look at anything near it can be abstract – and always also lot to do with the viewer’s experience. We see things and colors differently.
