As an Abstract & Semi - Impressionist Artist, there is something so special and so mystical about creating a painting with beautiful colors and bold characters - but illustrating what?
As someone who mainly focus my work on creating Abstract & Semi-Impressionism art - I can tell you that I love painting utilizing this style because I usually compare this style with real life situations - to me - life is just an abstract version of everything - because life is hard to explain and to fully understand it, but yet we love this life despite all the uncertainties that we find throughout the way.

Thus, the same way that sometimes is hard for us to fully understand an artwork ; in life the same thing happens, because to me what we call life - it is an abstract of the whole concept of our existence - we go thought life seeing and perceiving things; however, our perception sometimes can deviated from what in fact could be the reality; the same thing happens, when you see an artwork, you perception of what you see in that artwork can deviated from the real meaning of the piece - and to me that is the beauty of life -
we do not always have to fully understand everything, we just need to be open to enjoy that experience and the journey of understand that it could be just a perception of the reality - Just a thought - from an artist perspective.
