Abstract art? Really? Well…
I painted the above and then photographed it and “dealt” with it digitally to convert it into an NFT (Non-Fungible-Token). I call it the “Bluester”, because there is a blue rooster in the painting…
So, is it abstract? Being that most of the painting is created with the pure power of colour, I would say yes it is.
Abstract art is not just random colours, lines, drippings or scribbling. Abstract art contains the same problems as figurative. The most difficult aspect of abstract art is that the reference is internal, within the mind’s eye of the artist.
Abstract art has to follow the same rules as figurative. The artist must search, investigate and plan the colour, the composition and even the “style”, as there are differences…
Let me know what you think, especially if you are an abstract artist.
Cheers…
This is a thoughtful and confident reflection that does more than defend abstract art—it clarifies it. What makes the piece compelling is how you invite the reader into your process rather than simply presenting a finished work. By explaining the journey from painting to photograph to digital transformation and finally to an NFT, you show abstract art as an evolving dialogue between mediums, intention, and interpretation.

Yes, quite so, Sir, art is a process, a language, and as any language, it is useful for communicating. I thank you and greatly appreciate your feedback. It is a genuine pleasure to exchange conversation, knowledge and ideas with you. All the best!
