LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Do you ever find your paintings overworked with too many details? Are you ever bored with the traditional subjects and compositions? Have you ever wondered how you could be looser in your approach to painting, and curious how abstract you might go with your work? Then, this feature is for you.
For years I have been trying to step closer to capturing the essence of my subjects and found that I've been gradually moving closer to abstraction, one step at the time. This quest somehow resonates with the minimalist ideology: less is more. To achieve more impact, power, beauty and meaning, you might want to show, use or have less. It is arguably a question of taste, and not everybody will agree with me on this, but I find using one simple and well-placed brushstroke so much more powerful than placing a dozen little ones to say the same thing. Keeping things simple and playing with the limit of abstraction
