Frank Stella is an American artist best known for his use of geometric patterns and shapes in creating both paintings and sculptures. Stella’s works utilize the formal properties of shape, color, and composition to explore non-literary narratives.

Abstractionism is the theory that the mind obtains some or all of its concepts by abstracting them from concepts it already has, or from experience. It is a non-objective art, which does not have an accurate representation of a visual reality, but uses Forms, Colors, Textures and Gesture Marks to achieve its effect.

My VISION :  Create a visual representation of the art.

                      Focus on different kinds of techniques in surface ornamentation.
