Unlike conventional ways of artmaking which seek to replicate reality, abstract art strays away from natural forms and implies that reality is subjective. The greater the divergence from the literal form, the more abstract the art will be. An artist may use varied compositions made of shapes, colours, and textures to assemble a new piece of art. Collaging is just one means of abstraction, and can be executed using digital images or physical materials.
Milenko Prvacki is a visual artist and one of Singapore’s foremost art educators. In 2012, he received the Cultural Medallion for Visual Arts in Singapore. Milenko’s paintings reflect the liveliness of his thoughts and life events.
