Inner dimension behind Abstract Art
Abstract Art (From the Latin: Abstractio - removal, diversion) is an artistic movement that rejects 'real-life,' concrete images. It does not display recognisable images, but is rather a fusion of bold, pure colours and linear forms. In an abstract painting you won't see recognisable pictures that you are familiar with in everyday life. Instead, you will find a multitude of colour fusions, a culmination of various shapes, blobs, lines and colours.
THE EMERGENCE OF ABSTRACT ART
Abstract Art was recognised as an individual, artistic movement at the beginning of the 20th century. It established itself gradually and made a strong impression on its audiences. Abstract art exists for centuries. Since ancient times people feel irresistable creativity to draw pictures consisting of mystical shapes, mixture of colours and lines. Abstract forms can be found in the ornamental paintings of many cultures. So, why have abstract paintings been a means of self-expression and a voice for so many artists abroad for thousands of years?
ABSTRACT ART AND FEELINGS
Many artists rejected painting concrete, 'real-life' objects, since they felt that they did not express the multitude of human feelings and sufferings. Could it be that love, admiration, trust and belief are expressed in a form of images? It is evident that these feelings exist as colours in the mind of the artist. Many images that represent the spiritual suffering of the artists have been translated into colourful imagery on the canvases of abstract paintings. In rejecting 'real-life' forms, the artists can delve into their souls and transfer, as much as possible, the internal, spiritual side of a person in their paintings.
The famous Russian artist, V.Kandinski (1866-1944) strongly believed that depictions of subjects and landscapes restrict the self-expression of the artist. As a consequence, he felt that abstraction liberated his imagination and allowed him to splash out his feelings through multi-coloured imagery.
ABSTRACT ART AND MUSIC
In some ways, Abstract Art resembles music. Like Abstract Act, Music does not display known and recognisable forms, but enlivens the soul to a multitude of feelings and experiences through sound. Abstract Art conjures up the same types of feelings but through paint. Like with Music, Art is a means of expressing the spiritual side of a person. Vasilii Kandinskii even graced many of his works with musical names, such as "Improvisation" and "Composition." Kandinskii often spoke of sounds and the full "choir of paints". Some people even say that Kandinskii managed to expresse world of music in his artworks.
ABSTRACT, SPIRITUAL CREATIONS
With the help of paint, Abstract Art allows artists to express human beings' most spiritual feelings; their faith, their prayers and their love of God. A spiritual portrayer of abstract art is the young artist Skrebtsova. She claims that "I have moments in my life where I want to rise above the limitations of words and depict an array of great and fascinating images of creation in wonderful colours. And then the paintings just happen. They are not landscapes, portraits or still-life paintings. They are an attempt to portray God's love through the eyes of a person who is hungry to feel the love of God. My paintings are symbols of a generation of spiritual people who are testament to the strength of God's love that is ever-present in this world."
CHARISMATIC STRENGTH OF ABSTRACT, SPIRITUAL CREATIONS
Acquaintances and friends of Maria Skrebstova often inform her that her paintings help them in difficult, testing times, as a supplement for prayer and meditation. At a first glance, several people conjure up thoughts of the importance of spirituality. Understanding that there is a holy world beyond the world we know is always uplifting for people.
