Reiterating...

By definition, ABSTRACT ART is ...

"Art that does not attempt to represent external, recognizable reality but seeks to achieve its effect using shapes, forms, colors, and textures."

That's the formal, art historical definition; but artists are not bound by rules and codification necessarily. There are no ART POLICE to prevent a painter, photographer, illustrator or digital artist from stretching a concept or intertwining motifs or styles.

So, now that I've "justified" some of my abstract art/photographs ...

Here's more.
