Abstract pictures are often hard to appreciate and understand. They require the viewer to think for themselves and pay more attention on composition. Would be good if everyone would think for themselves but I find even myself often barely glancing at the pictures (i dont rate them though, after only glancing). Internet may not be the best place for more abstract art since it's so easy to always move to the next piece if you dont quite get it immeadately.

And what comes to this picture... To me, it feels restless since there's much going on: the vortex, pillars, green thing, light-red thing, "windowframe", tiles in the background, black border. My gaze just keeps bouncing around and I can't concentrate properly on anything.
It would be nice to hear what's your thought behind this picture.

I don't find life to be very orderly and as clean cut as it appears to be. The lines we all live in are so straight and uniform. The yards and properties all around us are well trimmed and kept up. Our lives on the outside can seam orderly and in control, but on many levels we live in chaos. My mind is cluttered with memories, feelings, worries and struggling to create structures of stability. This is a piece I am trying to express that convergence of incongruent elements. Stillness in the chaos.
I go from trying to be representational to being pretty far out, I suppose this is on the far outter side.
