The question is whether true abstract painting stands out in any way. At first glance, we will notice that abstract paintings do not form a particularly uniform collection. It includes extremely simple, even minimalist, black and white drawings, expressionist canvases painted with gesture and very rigorously constructed paintings of abstract geometry. Abstract painting rejection of a clear object. Unlike representational painting, in which the main subject of the painting is easy to grasp. Meanwhile, abstract paintings are less obvious and defined. It may seem that abstract painting is more intuitive. A specific theme cannot be isolated in geometric abstraction, but if it is painted in a thoughtful way, it evokes feelings in the viewer.

The theory says that in an abstract painting the most important thing is the impression it creates. When creating abstract paintings, abstract artists refine the light, color palette, composition and texture. This process is often much more complex than in the case of representational painting. Well-composed abstract paintings are coherent in every respect. This formal precision has a very simple reason: The method of abstract painting results from the lack of a specific subject. The subject matter of these paintings is simply less obvious. The topic is not the most important thing. When creating a painting, an abstract artist wants to convey specific feelings to future viewers and encourage them to reflect on a specific problem. Often, the painter's goal is to evoke certain associations. Abstract painting assumes that each viewer will react slightly differently. What is to be common is true art - a well-thought-out artistic creation rich in message.
