Original Abstract Art

My paintings start with an interest in nature and the sense it can arouse. Water movement, the changing mood in the sky, and a sense of calm vs energy frequently seep into my creative process. Instead of copying these elements in a literal manner, I interpret them in terms of color, texture, movement and composition. I share with the viewer these influences in the form of original abstract art, allowing the viewer to experience them from his perspective. At Kelly Dillard Art, I paint expressive paintings for collectors and homeowners who are looking to enjoy original abstract art in Texas that were created by a single artist's vision.

My work is abstract expressionistic, where every canvas is an opportunity to investigate contrasts and to engage in expression outside of imagery. Certain compositions emerge from strong color and action, others from more subtle color and relationships. I would like each piece of art to be able to make more than just a first impression and allow more time to see what new details and connections the viewer can make with it over time.

What Makes My Original Abstract Paintings Worth Exploring?

Original painting has unique characteristics of the artist's creative process. It is composed of its material, its colour harmonies and its physical qualities which combine into an artwork that is not a decorative repetition.

My original abstract paintings are designed to foster interest and individuality. Another viewer may be drawn to the movement of water in a composition, whereas another might be drawn to the movement of water in a composition, or the colours, or the texture, or the overall atmosphere. These interpretations don't have to be the same.

I think this is one of the most important attributes of abstract expressionism, and believe he has maximized it. The freedom that I think is one of the most valuable aspects of abstract expressionism is something that he has maximized, I believe. It is not necessary to have any preconceived ideas about what to look for in a painting in order to enjoy it. Instead, you can react to what you see, and create your own relationship to the work. It can be more rewarding to choose artwork for a collection or interior as part of this individual experience.

Which Art Collections Can Help You Find Your Preferred Style?

Different rooms, personalities, and artistic preferences call for different visual experiences. My collections bring together several approaches to abstract painting, allowing you to explore the themes and compositions that interest you.

  • Chromatic Abstracts: My chromatic abstract paintings explore expressive color combinations and dynamic compositions. Featured works include Strawberry Moon, Of Stone and Stream, and Fire Dance.

  • Oceanic Series: Inspired by ocean depths and the heights of the sky, this collection includes A Sail Into the Mystic, Neptune's Kingdom, and Atlantis.

  • River Rock Series: These paintings interpret the movement of water over stones through nature-inspired abstract compositions, including Riverbank and Whispers of a Stone.

  • Monochromatic Series: This collection explores neutral shades, tonal differences, and contrast for viewers who appreciate a more restrained palette.

  • Unleashed Series: Focused on freedom and movement, these works explore the expressive possibilities of abstract painting.

  • Small Originals: This collection offers smaller-format artwork for people looking to introduce original paintings into more compact spaces.

Each series provides a different starting point. Exploring the collections together can help you identify the colors, compositions, and artistic themes that best reflect your preferences.

How Does Contemporary Abstract Art Influence Interior Spaces?

Artwork can transform a space without any changes to the design. A good painting can be used to create a focal point, add contrast, or add visual interest to an otherwise plain interior.

These are possibilities I explore in my contemporary abstract art, using various color palettes and compositions in my work. Energy can be added to neutral surroundings by expressive works and interest can be created in monochromatic paintings by tonal variation and by texture.

When choosing a painting, take your wall space, the amount of natural light, the furniture around the painting and the mood you wish to create into account. Open walls and large spaces might be appropriate for larger works, while more compact spaces might be better for smaller compositions. I hope you will select a painting that fits into the environment but isn't just for matching.
