Abstract art, with its kaleidoscopic array of colors and shapes, challenges our perception of the world and transports us to the limitless potential of the creative mind. It moves about the canvas, playing with our eyes and ears and forcing us to reevaluate our assumptions. The entangled strokes of paint create an orchestra of feelings that reveals hidden meaning to the curious. Meaning is ambiguous and up for grabs in this kaleidoscopic collage of forms and lines. Each brushstroke conveys meaning and encourages the development of unique tales.
