About methods
Abstraction is that never existed before, step into indefinite.
Abstraction is that never existed before, step into indefinite.
Man-made. It is a sign of author's presence. Brushstroke is a trace of a hand, fingerprint, tag.
Unintentionality. To arrange serendipity for competed piece use the Knight's move. Then the object-cause of desire will appear.
Individuality seems like self-identification. It is a result of looking for original language, own metaphor.
Appealing to the ideal. It is about discovering new strange beauty as a structure. Aliveness, harmony and taste are the components.
Interpretations belong to viewers. Abstraction is a preform, the structure which is filled with personal associations.
Rhythm. The piece is created with intervals by tension and release, points of concentration and sparseness, accents, intensity and density.
Rhythm is a method of assembly based on the principle of least action.
