Designing is such a general term, but it allows so much room for creativity and imagination. With the constant upgrading of technology that we are exposed to, our tools for creating work have become so innovative and useful that an idea can be limitless and designers can flourish. Abstraction is a fairly new concept in terms of art history in which we can create worlds and styles that are completely original. It is nothing that we see in the real world, therefore anything is possible and all is beautiful.

Adding a human form to an abstract work of art brings a little bit of reality to an unknown environment. I have seen many concepts with dancers floating through an unusual space, or swimmers surrounded by imaginative water splashes.

The visual concept of clarifying items closer to the eye works well in this piece. The blurred background shows us a glimpse of what is going on, but draws your focus to the center. It has a great, magical presence in which the design is emerging from the human hand.

Abstract designs are a great way for an artist to let out their imagination with complete freedom and they make for really beautiful pieces of work. It’s no wonder that modern designs use abstraction so often.
