Why Abstract Art Matters: Uncovering Its Emotional, Creative, and Cultural Impact

By Marisabel Gonzalez

Abstract art is often misunderstood. Some see it as random paint splashes on a canvas, while others struggle to find a straightforward narrative.

Within it lies the courage to create, discover, and become your truest self. Instead of choosing a word to guide and inspire my actions for 2025, I have chosen a phrase: Dance with the void! - because I gotta walk the talk, right?
