I’m not completely clear on what an abstract still life is, but this is my interpretation. It started photo life as a still life of a bouquet. Then I embellished it. Debbie @shutterbug49
I found it! Well, it depends on how you want to define "abstract". The classical and art inspired definition is a picture or painting whose source is completely unidentifiable- a detail is "abstracted" or pulled out of the subject and is then embellished on to create a mood, statement which hopefully the viewer perceives, or instead to invoke an emotional response from them. Of course all of this is completely subjective! More modern interpretations do not require the subject to be unidentifiable but to be at least less realistic than reality. This is accomplished by manipulating color, shape, setting, etc. so that the subject no longer looks natural or real. So some may consider your lovely and colorful bouquet to fit the latter form of the abstract genre. To me, it looks more like the Pop Art style of the graphic arts but I still like it in spite of whatever genre it might be! Well done! (Honestly though in all my years of studying art, I have not heard of abstract still life- but who knows- it may be something new since I've studied it. It was always just plain "abstract" in my undergrad days!)
