The main idea is to convey my emotions and impressions with my painting knife and use of colour. Lyrical abstracts share the aspects of being imaginative, emotive, expressive, passionate and subjective. There is often an underlying emotion that I am trying to convey. One of the earliest well-known artists to be considered to paint lyrical abstracts is Wassily Kandinsky.  Even though I am painting in an intuitive manner, it is almost like there is a symphony taking place, as one colour takes over the composition from the other.
