Oceanic Abstract Series
A thoughtfully designed room can still feel incomplete when its walls lack character, color, or a meaningful focal point. The right painting can bring these elements together, creating an atmosphere that feels personal rather than simply decorated. Through Kelly Dillard Art, I create original abstract paintings that explore color, movement, texture, and the natural world. My work gives collectors and homeowners an opportunity to find artwork that reflects their individual tastes, whether they prefer expressive compositions, subtle neutrals, or blue abstract paintings inspired by the mystery of water and sky.
As an abstract expressionist artist, I approach each painting as an opportunity to communicate through visual elements rather than literal imagery. My collections offer different moods and perspectives, helping you discover original artwork that connects with your space and continues to hold your interest over time.
What Makes My Original Abstract Paintings Different?
Abstract art invites personal interpretation. Instead of presenting a recognizable scene, it uses color, gesture, texture, and composition to create an experience that can mean something different to every viewer. I draw inspiration from nature and explore contrasts between movement and stillness, boldness and restraint, and tension and calm.
This approach allows you to choose a painting based on more than its appearance. You might connect with the energy of a dynamic composition or appreciate the quiet balance of a restrained palette. Either way, the artwork becomes a personal part of your environment.
My collections bring these ideas together through distinct artistic themes. From expressive colors to nature-inspired forms, each collection offers a different way to experience contemporary abstract painting.
Which Abstract Art Collection Matches Your Style?
Choosing original artwork becomes easier when you begin with the colors, atmosphere, and visual qualities that appeal to you. My collections provide several ways to explore these preferences.
Chromatic Abstracts: Explore expressive color combinations and dynamic compositions through works such as Strawberry Moon, Of Stone and Stream, and Fire Dance.
Oceanic Series: Discover paintings inspired by the mysteries of ocean depths and the heights of the sky, including A Sail Into the Mystic and Neptune's Kingdom.
River Rock Series: Explore nature-inspired compositions that reflect the flow of water over stones, with works such as Riverbank and Whispers of a Stone.
Monochromatic Series: Consider paintings that use neutral tones, contrast, and composition to create visual interest without relying on a broad color palette.
Unleashed Series: Explore an expressive approach centered on movement, freedom, and the energy of abstract painting.
Small Originals: Browse smaller-format paintings when you want an original work for a more compact wall or a carefully selected display.
Each collection offers a different visual direction. Exploring several collections can help you identify the artistic qualities that feel most natural in your home or workspace.
How Can Abstract Paintings Transform Your Interior?
Artworks can impact the atmosphere of a room without altering the room's design or décor. A large painting could be used to create a focal point, and a smaller one can help make the most of a neglected wall. Elements of colour and movement may also add contrast, link the other elements of the design or provide a pause in a very busy space.
My colorful abstract paintings can create dynamic energy to neutral rooms, while monochromatic abstracts can add depth via toning and composition. The purpose is not to replicate all the ornamental features. Rather, select a painting that fits in with the existing room décor and has its own style.
When choosing abstract art for the interior of your home, think about the spaces you spend the most time in, what you are trying to communicate to your guests and which compositions seem to catch your eye when you look. Here are some things to keep in mind to help you choose a piece of art that feels like a part of the whole, and not just tacked on.
Why Choose Blue Abstract Paintings Inspired by Nature?
The colour blue can convey either the openness of the sky, the depth of water or the calm of a far horizon. All of these relationships are explored in my Oceanic Series of abstract compositions, which allow each viewer to interpret the work for themselves.
Examples of this inspired direction: A Sail into the Mystic, Neptune's Kingdom. The paintings are not a particular ocean scene, but rather are intended to inspire viewers to engage with the movement, colour and atmosphere of each of the paintings.
When selecting blue abstract paintings, take into account the colours already in the room, the amount of natural light, and the atmosphere you're looking to create. More saturated blues can help to accentuate lighter-colored walls, and lighter color shifts work well with natural materials and more subdued furniture.
How Do You Choose the Right Painting Size and Medium?
The painting should relate easily to its context. To choose a piece, you need to determine the ceiling height, viewing distance, and nearby furniture, as well as the amount of wall space available. Open walls may be accentuated with larger works or medium-size or smaller original works.
Be sure to look closely at the information about each painting before selecting. I have created pieces in various sizes and some pieces are created using acrylic and mixed media on cradled board. Materials and sizes vary; the information on the individual artwork listings will give you the details for a specific piece.
When selecting art, it is important to consider the size, type and location of the art to ensure that it fits the space and your tastes.
