Simple Understanding of Abstract Paintings

The abstracts of 2001 onwards are beautiful works on paper. The happiness, the emotions, the play of colours. All done in feelings of joy and happiness. I do remember the time in year 2001 when I first discovered the joy of painting abstracts.
There would be not time for stopping and creating and creating, just non stop! sometimes I would forget to eat, sometimes forget to even cook, time stood still and when I would stop the watch would have moved much much ahead, any abstract artist would agree with me that doing abstract paintings is an experience of letting out your emotions, expressing using colours, strokes, I have not used brushes and direct application of paints, right from the tubes, the turning of paper, the folds still visible after so many years, the colours vibrant, I love painting abstracts using oil paint. Sometimes my nails (they would be all broken and chipped  the time I finish painting!no change still the same I take pains to grow them and they just go down the drain.), the back to brush, the comb and any thing I would get my hands on!

An abstract painting gives the artist freedom to use any colour, any technique and any medium. There is a connection and an attraction to colours that led me to enjoy these years of my painting. Being an healing artist my true love painting to heal souls, the earth and the universe. Let me do my bit to spread love and happiness. I have used simple A4 sized paper to paint these oil paintings and have posted a few here, enjoy viewing and do comment!
Understanding abstracts is not very easy and often people are without words to understand and express an abstract artwork. Some wonder they are blobs of paint, whereas some quietly observe to find new meanings to the painting. Abstract artist also use colour to express them selves and these paintings are called colour field paintings in which the artist expresses through use of different colours.

 A red is passion and energy whereas a pink expresses love , a blue is serenity whereas a green in growth and prosperity. From expressionism to symbolism abstract paintings have them all. The term abstract is to make short, simplify, or divide into simple shapes or maybe no form.

New Technique for painting, Musical Lines Series year 2001 and 2002

 The year 2001 and 2002 was one that made me try and try out different techniques to use paint. It was not just about painting anyhow. I still do not understand why I did what I did. It was as if I had little time and I had to paint so much, and still it is the same, bombarded with so many ideas and struggling with painful hands to paint!resources are low and still have to paint.Would be good if now I sell some art.

Musical Lines Crayon on paper by Rizwana

 Musical lines happened in 2002 after the year 2001 of crayon scribbling, Studies using crayon were done using paper as base. Scribbling led to making lines with some direction and later on with meaning. now my liens have got meanings and they also have power in from of symbols.

So first crayons were used and then later overlapped in black or dark colored water colour and viola! a glowing art was made. each painting shone in its own way, what was painted was not important but the appearance and look was great.

Identity series  in crayon and water colour

 search for identity was what came into my mind when I tried and did these artworks with great passion and happiness. each new painting was a discovery and gave me immense satisfaction and happiness, as if going one step ahead in my journey.

Search for identity series paintings on paper

The shapes began to appear after more than 100 studies and oval and triangle were seen search for identity goes on....but some parts have been solved of the missing puzzle of confusion.
The ego is very smart and dominating and the soul is very shy and loving, trying to come out of the shell from behind the ego the soul is now coming to the front and one day it will shine! leaving the ego behind, reiki happened , with the white universal light energy entering me my life has got its direction, the path is decided, only the understanding has come now , the journey goes on...

Landscape Symbolic Paintings by Healing Artist

My earlier artworks bring a smile on my face. I have done few, very few landscape paintings on paper and these works later transformed into symbolic landscapes. I have dabbled in this genre of art and have skipped making more landscapes as lines and symbols calling was more strong. Every artist has to travel the journey of self healing and realisation and only after ten, twenty or thirty years do they get into the mode of true painting. their original style emerges by trying and struggling in their early years with paint, water colours , oils and other mediums. I have painted few landscapes and the sea fascinated me in my early years.

Romantic Abstract Landscape Painting

Doing geometric abstracts and symbolic paintings has emerged into my unique style of painting and I do swear by my symbols.  Reiki energy and feng shui energy has opened new doors of spirituality to me and which I want to transfer to the world and the universe. the universe has everything in plenty and we just have to tap this potential. Happiness, wealth, good health and prosperity are open to all, we have all gone far away from our true nature and this is creating problems in our lives.

Spiritual Abstract - Symphony in Music painting by Rizwana Mundewadi

Symphony in Music -Spiritual abstract painting

One of my line series paintings the lines that begin with a dot and keep extending , I try to give meanings to my dots and lines. The year 2002 saw line paintings and it was such a journey creating these artworks that it still give me immense pleasure on remembering them. The lines and colours would flow easily and the result was spectacular. Forms, shapes and colors all merge to bring out a beautiful artwork and only when I stop do I notice what has come up on my paper.
The two most famous artists that have influenced my artworks since beginning are Kandinsky and Raza. there is instant similarity and also a uniqueness in my art which is an important part of being an healing artist.
In my early painting years I would never think about what I would paint and even till now many things haven't changed. I let my art speak for itself instead of finding meaning I let viewers find the hidden meanings. It feels great to hear the comments when one individual finds a bird or someone brushes upon an angel in my painting. Healing art is just for that reason , to heal the viewer and am very excited to bring this healing art to the world. I am very lucky to have been selected by the universe to fulfill this desire of earth and heaven to create peace and harmony and will try my best to be true to my art.
Healing art is one of the most neglected genres of painting and many people are becoming aware that art can heal. My healing paintings have symbols and usually the lines that were seen in my older artworks have got new and powerful meanings now. the lines are not haphazard and they have a specific direction and aim. Symbols are very powerful lines used in my paintings and I have seen very impressive results from my healing paintings.
The image of harmony in music was done in the year 2002 and is one of the paintings from the series of line paintings.This colourful artwork is done on oil sketch paper one of my favorite mediums for painting which I still love. Doing painting on oil sketch paper gives me the desired freedom to paint anyhow and I know when I am carefree this shows in my art!
