Nail art with abstract is a visual language of shapes, colours and textures. With the departure of exact representation to anything recognisable either partially, complete, or slight. The artist called Wassily Kandinsky is noted as the pioneer for abstract art. He was born in 1866 so just like every trend we are not creating the wheel we are just rehashing a trend.
The abstract art movement is filled with a liberal use of colour, creating a visual language. We are aware of art techniques that are recreations of real visuals. These art styles are different as its purpose is to not be an accurate depiction.
There is potentially the most famous artist of the genre Jackson Pollock once again he was born in 1912.
Firstly, art is subjective and the remarkable thing about this world we live in is there are thousands, hundreds, millions of options of art that suit your style and taste.
Secondly, the joy of abstract is that the rules are non-existent, bent or broken. The rebel inside loves this. The freedom of expression and speech in artistic form to suit your nailing. It’s almost as if the abstract nature of this art takes the pressure off perfection in the world. In addition to giving, you a space to be who you think you are. Maybe you live your whole life in an abstract expression.
The nails
You may have seen the new nail art trend across your socials of what you can call a little bit of this and a little bit of that. (An Inner Circle song plays in the background).
Layering is a fantastic way of squeezing multiple artistic expressions into a small space.
The nail below depicts a firework scene by layered foil and gel. Highly effective and is striking enough to just have one.
Lastly, due to the research for nail art with abstract applying it to an abstract canvas painting. Free with the approach and worked on the painting over a few months. Only painting when there was a strong emotion. Such as a difficult day at work, anger, tearfulness or listening to Beyonce. By layering these emotions, it creates a story, can you see the feelings?
