These types of pieces forces us to think about them, however, it does not matter how it’s the most important, what matters is how it makes you, yourself feel, this kind of abstract art is strictly real and gives us space to think on our own, patterns and unity in work, homogeneity and uniqueness are the most factors that defines the good paint or failure on.
