Abstract paintings are a form of art that usually does not depict recognizable objects or scenes. Instead, they use colours, shapes and textures to create a visual language that is open to interpretation. Abstract art can be traced back to the early 20th century, when artists began to experiment with new ways of representing the world around them. Some famous abstract painters include Wassily Kandinsky,
Jackson Pollock, and Mark Rothko
Abstract paintings can be divided into two main categories: geometric abstraction and abstract expressionism. Geometric abstraction uses simple shapes and lines to create a sense of order and structure, while abstract expressionism is more spontaneous and emotional, often using bold colours and gestural brushstrokes to convey a sense of energy and movement.
