Abstract minimalism is an art style that emphasizes simplicity, geometric shapes, and a limited color palette to create art that focuses on the viewer's experience of form, line, color, and space. It moves away from representational art and aims to create a purely visual experience, often stripping away unnecessary details to allow for contemplation and emotional response.
When I posted this challenge to my Patreon group, one of my members asked: Can you use bright colors with Abstract Minimalism? The answer is YES! In this video, I demonstrate how you can find simplicity in form and composition, but still use bold colors and strong contrast.
And can I just say... TLP's in glass bead gel is a MAGIC combination! I will definitely use them together again.
Here's the (short) playlist for this collab:

Want to know the secret to learning to make art? Follow your instincts. Mix up some paints and play! Give yourself the freedom to make mistakes and learn from them. You'll surprise yourself - I guarantee it. And you'll have lots of fun!
Now grab yourself some paints and BE FEARLESS!

You can now purchase my art online! Visit galeria1084.com to browse through my available pieces, and art from more than 30 other artists who also live in Costa Rica! Acrylic, oil and mixed media fine art; gold and silver jewelry; glass art; ceramics; sculpture; indigenous art; basketry and lots more!
I 'rescue' any paint that gets spun or tilted off by scraping it off of the table, straining it and saving it to use as a base coat for future pours. Very little waste!
