Artwork Commentary: 

In abstract works, the viewer searches for what leads them to “understand the work.” Many of us do not taste an aesthetic sense; instead, we want to link it with an understanding of a message, goal, or meaning, and many of us insist that the artwork has a puzzle or code that has a solution. They cannot accept that the work may only carry a purely aesthetic message. Here, color can be a key to the work and may be assisted by the work’s composition, abstractions resembling flower rounds, intertwining curves with a non-repelling aesthetic symmetry, and thoughtful color gradient distributions from an expert eye who has mastered the use and mixing of color. There are contrasting color transitions, but it still has a lovely warm harmony. Nothing in the work makes you feel repulsed. On the contrary, everything in the scene represents nature's beauty through an artist's abstraction. The artist called this work ‘Colors of the Sea.’
