How to Choose Abstract Art that Speaks to You: A Guide for Art & Nature Lovers

When it comes to abstract art, especially nature-inspired pieces, the key is to feel the connection—like hearing the ocean in a seashell. Here’s how to pick a piece that’ll make your heart sing (and your walls look fab):

  1. Look for Movement: Nature is alive, so look for art that flows and breathes, whether it’s swirling leaves or cascading waves.
  2. Find Your Colours: Does the palette remind you of your favourite places? Warm earthy tones? Lush greens? If the colours take you somewhere, you're on the right track. You can consider the colours in the room you are looking to place art.
  3. Textures and Layers: Great abstract nature art feels tactile, even from afar. Does it invite you to imagine touching the bark of a tree, or the ripples of a stream? Layers add depth and mystery, curiosity and connection.
  4. Emotion Over Detail: Forget the perfect tree or sunset. Abstract nature is about capturing the feeling—the peace of a forest walk or the energy of a storm. If it makes you feel, it’s the one.
  5. Listen to Your Gut: In the end, art’s all about emotion. If it makes you pause and smile or gives you goosebumps, then it’s speaking your language.

Remember, art is a little like love: if you keep thinking about it long after you’ve left, it’s probably the one.
