SLOW ART
How Abstract Color Teaches Us to Transform
We live in a culture that rewards speed — fast scrolling, instant answers, next-day delivery. But abstract art resists that pace. It asks us to slow down.
When we slow down in front of a painting like this, something subtle begins to happen.
Our eyes adjust. Our breath evens out. We start to see instead of just look.

At first, it’s just color — blue, yellow, maybe some hints of green. But over time, emotion begins to emerge: a feeling of tension, release, movement, or even quiet expansion. The painting becomes a mirror, reflecting what’s happening inside us.
Blue and Yellow: The Conversation of Opposites
The dominant blue in the piece feels grounding — deep, cool, contemplative. It carries the energy of still water, of thought before action.
In contrast, the yellow cuts through like lightning — fierce, immediate, alive. It’s the moment of realization, the flash of intuition, the courage to disrupt calm in order to grow.
