I've started to investigate why abstract art appeals to me, and to better inform me about my instincts for creating abstract works. I'm starting with these ideas from: https://www.wikiart.org/news/dimensions-unleashed-navigating-space-in-abstract-art/
"Abstract artists manipulate that play of positive to negative space, and in so doing challenge the conventional notions about dimensionality: they construct compositions that seem to have their own depth, movement, and uncertainty of spatiality
Depth Through Layering
The layering is one of the best-known techniques in the arsenal of abstract artists; superimposing many layers of colors, textures, and shapes helps to achieve visual deepening, leading with the eyes the one who looks at the picture as if going into an aerial perspective. The dimensionality in the work is brought by the play of this between the elements in front and at the back, and thus the line between surface and space is blurred."
