Lyrical abstraction

Lyrical abstraction is a type of art where the artist paints using emotions and feelings instead of actual objects.

Imagine you are drawing a picture of how you feel when you are happy. You might use bright colors and lots of swirling lines to show how happy you are. Lyrical abstraction is like that, but for grown-up artists.

They use colors and shapes to paint how they feel inside. Sometimes the painting looks like something real, but mostly it's just colors and shapes.

Lyrical abstraction is a way for artists to express their emotions and feelings without using words. Just like you might draw a picture to show how you feel instead of telling someone.
