abstract painter
Shapes-and-colors creator
An abstract painter is an artist who creates abstract art—work that doesn't attempt to represent recognizable objects, figures, or scenes from the visible world.
Instead, abstract painters use color, form, line, and texture to create compositions that may evoke emotions or ideas without depicting anything literal.
Kandinsky is considered one of the first abstract painters.
The term encompasses various movements and styles, from geometric abstraction to gestural expressionism.
