Abstract Artist

An Abstract Artist (pronunciation: /æbˈstrækt ˈɑːrtɪst/) is an individual who creates art that does not attempt to represent an accurate depiction of visual reality. Instead, they use shapes, colors, forms, and gestural marks to achieve their effect.

Etymology

The term "Abstract Artist" originates from the Latin word "abstractus", which means "drawn away". This is in reference to the artist's tendency to draw away from the literal representation of objects or figures in their work.
