Abstract paintings at the student art market
Artists delve into their subconscious, withdraw from the outside world and turn their gaze inwards. Emotions and the process of painting itself take centre stage. This gives rise to a completely new artistic experience, detached from the subject matter, in which an infinite world of colours and forms is revealed to the artist. Paintings without a focal point emerge; the size of the work becomes a statement in itself, and spontaneous, gestural, innovative works are making their mark on the art world. Even the boundary between the artwork and the viewer dissolves. Hilma af Klimt, Paul Klee, Max Ernst and Miró laid the foundations for abstract painting; they were the first to explore the interplay of form and colour in Abstract Expressionism. Other artists, such as Jackson Pollock, splashed paint onto the canvas spontaneously and freely; they focused entirely on the creative process itself, in keeping with the motto ‘I am nature!’. In his abstract painting, Kandinsky explored the rhythm of various colour compositions, whilst Picasso, in what is known as Cubism, broke objects down into basic geometric forms. Overall, abstract painting cannot be defined by any specific style, but all artists shared one thing in common: an artistic self-understanding detached from the figurative world.

Artists of the Month: Our recommendation for abstract art
Here we present a selection of abstract paintings by art students on our platform, all of whom have been Artists of the Month.
First of all, we would like to Gerald Almirall , who impresses with his large-scale works and creates distinctive abstract paintings. His abstract paintings are mostly rendered in a pastel colour palette; shapes and colours seem to engage in a dialogue, and the large-scale formats allow the viewer to lose themselves entirely in the dream worlds he has created. In this way, he offers the opportunity to find peace in our technologically industrialised world. In this type of composition, the viewer’s imagination is able to complete the chaos initially created by the disordered brushstrokes and glazes, thereby establishing a dialogue between the viewer’s imagination and that of the artist. Would you like to lose yourself in these dreamlike worlds too?
Next, we recommend the “Orderly Chaos” series by Franca Plohr. Her large-format works feature abstract black-and-white paintings in acrylic. With powerful brushstrokes, she playfully experiments with different surfaces and lines. This creates a strong light-dark contrast, symbolising the interplay of opposites in our reality and the rhythm of our lives. She, too, asks herself whether there is order within chaos. Despite their dynamic movements, her abstract paintings exude harmony and can lend a room a sense of greater spaciousness. They are particularly well-suited to modern, minimalist interiors and captivate with their simple, elegant style. However, we also see her works in galleries and other public spaces; this abstract art truly looks impressive anywhere.
Are you looking for life-affirming abstract paintings for your new home? If so, we’d like to recommend an artist who has already sold a great many works through us: Eunjeong Kim. She has taken part in various exhibitions and produced a wealth of abstract paintings. Her abstract paintings are characterised by expressive and energetic brushstrokes, which, combined with the vibrant colours, give them a graffiti-like effect. These works are brimming with positive energy and are truly a sight to behold – something you shouldn’t miss!
Christopher Schröder is our next candidate, who explores the energetic interplay of colour and form in his abstract paintings. His works are highly dynamic, and the colours seem to engage in a dialogue within a world reminiscent of science fiction films. He himself says that his art is a tribute to the universe and uses the canvas to explore the countless possibilities that lie beyond our skies. They are an expression of his vision of the future, a space for discovery and adventure in the depths of the cosmos. If you, too, would like to escape reality for a while and give your dreams free rein, then his abstract paintings are a must-have for your home! Here, colours begin to dance and move in a quiet yet dynamic ballet.
Nina Panzer is our final recommendation. Her abstract paintings are often rendered in soft pastel shades and create a sense of tranquillity. She draws inspiration from the beats of trance music, to which she finds matching colours and shapes. Using a special spraying technique and an ever-changing colour palette, she discovers new means of expression designed to reflect the rhythm of life. Each of her abstract paintings reflects a unique personal moment that cannot be described in words. These abstract paintings really do blend into almost any interior. They create a cosy atmosphere and, thanks to their various sizes, can be adapted to suit any room.
Abstract art for every interior style
As you can see, abstract paintings are suitable for a wide variety of rooms. Thanks to the wide variety of colours and shapes, there are many different styles to suit any interior. As there are no distinct figures or objects in the picture, abstract art is more neutral than other art styles. It does not impose a story, attitude or situation on the viewer, leaving room for your own imagination. This means everyone sees something different in them, and they adapt to your guests, friends or family. Before you buy an abstract painting for your room, you should ask yourself which colour palette would suit it best. Would a lighter palette in pastel shades go better with your sofa? Or would you prefer a bold, colourful palette? You can choose black-and-white photographs, an abstract painting in lighter tones, or a stylish drawing featuring charcoal or pencil. A colourful abstract painting or a depiction of an animal is the ideal motif for creating an interesting focal point in a modern living area. In the bedroom, we’d tend to recommend softer, calmer, abstract paintings, as these can put you in a relaxed frame of mind, which is important before going to sleep. In modern lofts, street art paintings are ideal; they lend a very special touch to your unique interior style. In minimalist design styles such as industrial interiors or modern student accommodation, abstract paintings are a colourful highlight. The best thing about them is that abstract paintings are timeless.
