Abstractism style in tattooing - manifestations f.r.e.e.d.o.m. ! 

Abstract language - arose at the dawn of human civilization. About that testifies the abstract ornaments on the most ancient the artifacts of civilizations. To this day, there is a debate among art historians about what came first: abstract or realistic art. 

Abstract art, painting, sculpture or graphics and of course also tattooing, in which the representation of things in the visible world has little or no meaning. 

In art, to a great extent, everything consists of elements that can be called abstract— shapes, colors, lines, tone and texture elements. 

There are three artistic movements that contributed to the development of abstract art, Romanticism, Impressionism and Expressionism. The Romantic period had put forward ideas about art that rejected Classicism's emphasis on imitation and idealization and emphasized instead the imagination and the unconscious as the essential creative factor. Little by little, many of this period painters began to accept the new freedom. At the end of the 19th century, many artists considered it necessary to create a new form of art that would encompass the fundamental changes taking place in technology, science, and philosophy, and Abstractcism was born. 

Tattooing is no exception to the art form and abstraction, as a form of expression are those tattoos that will take You out of Your comfort zone.

The purpose of an abstract tattoo is to provide an alternative view of reality. An abstract tattoo is always a statement. These abstract tattoos, much like the abstract art that inspired the style, are extremely unique and complex and require a particular artistic point of view.

A purely symbolic abstract tattoo may include a geometric shape and a mixture of forms, lines and colors mutually blocking, to describe an image or express the user's beliefs and values. 

On the other hand, abstract portrait tattoos tend to be partially combined abstract, and only abstract techniques to create a different version of reality, which at first glance may seem distorted, but you get used to it and start to admire it :) 

Abstract tattoos rarely focus on creating a realistic image, instead focusing on the thoughts, feelings and emotions surrounding the image. Further - colors, shapes, shadows and other artistic tattooing techniques with which the desired sensation is achieved. 

Abstract tattoos are a dynamic form of body art that showcases creativity and individuality. They provide a unique and personal interpretation,  m a k i n g  t h e m  o p e n  for viewer.  Abstract tattoos blurs boundaries between reality and imagination.

Breaking free from the constraints of realism, abstract tattoos offer a more subjective and personal interpretation of the world, allowing both the artist and wearer to tap into their creativity and emotions. Abstract tattoos blend perfectly with any other style, because rather there are them isomorphic continuation, rather than something new in terms of technical performance.

One of the most exciting abstract aspects of tattooing are the freedom it gives to the  a r t i s t s – e x p e r i m e n t  with unconventional techniques and styles. Below this combination of words also lies the unknown -  r.e.s.u.l.t. :) You are looking for something fresh and interesting, you trust the tattoo artist and let him express itself in an avant-garde way, without limiting his abstract freedom… Then take it and accept the result of looking at your reflection in the mirror :)

It's not our intention to scare you :) 

The quality and visual appeal of the work depends primarily on the artist's ability to translate the client's thoughts and ideas into a drawing and, of course, on his professional skills. Artists specializing in abstract tattoos have even gained international recognition for their innovative techniques, pushing the boundaries of the medium and inspiring a new generation of tattoo enthusiasts and artists. 

P.S. 

To express ideas, abstract art focuses on the shapes, colors and textures that constitute reality, rather than trying to depict the world around us. It is daring to express, and it is an essential factor that has influenced tattoo culture. This has fostered a deeper appreciation of tattoos and their artistic qualities, elevating them to the level of fine art. Abstract tattoos conform to such narrow notions that the tattoo itself turns into a work of art. 

Only when you open the window you see what is behind it - Not through its glass :)
