Abstract Painting: A Free Journey of Creativity

Abstract painting is a form of art that attracts the attention of many people. Developed at the beginning of the 20th century, this painting changed the paradigm of art and provided wider creative freedom for artists. In contrast to realist paintings which depict objects or people with clear details, abstract paintings prioritize expression and feelings through shapes, colors and lines that are not tied to the representation of real objects.

The development of abstract painting began in the early 20th century, when artists such as Wassily Kandinsky, Piet Mondrian and Kazimir Malevich began to try to break away from the dominant concepts of realism and impressionism at that time. They believe that through simple shapes and colors, they can convey a deeper emotional and spiritual message to the audience.

In the 1910s, Kandinsky, a Russian artist, is considered one of the pioneers of abstract painting with his work entitled "Pausanias' Comments." His works explore the harmony of color and form to create a rich emotional atmosphere.

Meanwhile, Mondrian, a Dutch artist, developed a style of abstract painting known as "De Stijl." He focuses on straight lines, basic colors, and geometric shapes to create an impression of simplicity and harmony.

In Russia, Malevich created the Suprematism movement, which emphasized purely geometric shapes, such as black squares or white circles, to achieve the essence of spiritual perfection.      

Over time, abstract painting has become increasingly popular in various parts of the world and inspired many artists to explore further in expressing emotions and ideas through non-representational forms.

In the post-war era, abstract expressionism in the United States became one of the most influential art movements. Painters such as Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko created revolutionary works with drip painting techniques and large areas of color that express their deep feelings.

Since then, abstract painting has continued to develop and develop into various forms and styles, including expressionist abstraction, geometric abstraction and others. Abstract painting is a means for artists to speak through a visual language that is free and full of interpretation.    

With the infinite evolution of technology and art experimentation, the future of abstract painting may bring more innovations and surprises to the world of fine art. While at times presenting a challenge to the viewer seeking immediate meaning, abstract painting continues to attract attention and provide unexpected beauty for those who are open to immersive, immersive visual experiences.
