A journey into abstracts

Seeing abstracts is like turning off the switch of recognition
as we enter a world of impressions

Curves and straight lines and colour
and depth given by the space in-between.
We stop wanting to interpret

and let ourselves be amazed and touched by the unexpected.


The simplest of shapes and textures
become a lesson in visual harmony.

Shadows and solid objects intermingle and create flow.

Reflections create surreal scenes that tell us stories of the unknown.

For me,
abstracts create a journey scattered with mystery and delight
I love not knowing where they will take me next.

  8. LOVE this!! I love abstracts like this because they take something we know and completely transform it into something else... letting our minds escape reality and letting our imagination run wild! I am especially mesmerized by the shot with the blue, orange and yellow shapes, and the black and white bubble shot with all of the circular shapes and curvy lines... They all have such perfect composition! They make me happy! :)
    Hope you're having a great weekend!

  10. Sandra ~ I think you've really found your niche with the abstract work. I find them very fascinating and lovely, probably cause they emphasize two intriguing aspects of our visual world - color and design. My fav images from this group are the first (Color!) and the fourth (wonderful, bold graphic design). Happy weekend to you:)

  13. What wonderful pictures, they actually make you stop for a moment and look as the person commented above - one gets lost in each picture - that's unusual these days - it's nice to get lost in something this lovely for a while!
