Abstract and Minimalist Art

Abstract and Minimalist Art


Pragmatically, I think that the abstract expressionism is not an accurate description of the body of work created by each artist. Indeed, the movement comprised many different painterly styles varying in both technique and quality of expression. 


   Despite this variety, abstract expressionist paintings share several broad characteristics, they are basically abstract. Also, they show similar emphasis on the unstudied and intuitive application of that technique in a form sophisticated of psychic spontaneous akin to the automatism of the Surrealists, with a intuitive intent of expressing the force of the creative unconscious of the creator. 

       Constructively, more than the colors or shapes one can create, there are relieves and textures. This is the part I love most when I capture a moment onto a surface. 


     Many enjoy a flat surface, but in my opinion, the relieve makes the work have more life and, at the same time, projects the color. 


     Personally, curators have criticized me for the way I paint and make relieves; “there’s a lot of mud”you don’t leave any space”, “the atmosphere is very saturated,” etc. According to my way of thinking, it’s boring to follow the follow academic norms of painting. 

     When I break these norms, and allow the color to express itself, is when I truly create something different. 

     In this day in age, when the art world is saturated with an immense quantity of artists, where in every country there are thousands of expressions and a need to express them. 


     I have no idea what can possibly be created in the next hundred years.
