Morning Practice is a reflection of my artistic approach to blending abstraction with purpose. The piece intentionally emphasizes three key elements: the morning sun, a rowing boat in practice, and a girl standing on the bridge, cheering for the team. These focal points are the essence of the story I wanted to convey, with the surrounding elements deliberately abstracted to amplify their significance.
This artwork is not about following traditional composition rules such as foreground, middle ground, and background. Instead, it is an exploration of how abstraction can frame and highlight what truly matters, allowing the viewer to connect with the narrative while still experiencing a sense of atmosphere and depth. The balance between abstraction and reality ensures that every part of the composition serves the storytelling, either by emphasizing the central elements or fading into the background to provide subtle context.
Unlike pure abstract art, which often detaches itself from reality, Morning Practice retains a clear purpose. The abstraction exists not as an end in itself but as a means to focus the viewer's attention on what is most important. It is my way of distilling the essence of the scene while leaving room for interpretation and emotional resonance.
Through the use of digital methods, I sought to create an ethereal, dreamlike quality that enhances the interplay of light, water, and human presence. The result is a piece that bridges the gap between abstraction and reality, inviting the viewer to reflect on the calm, purposeful beauty of a quiet morning along the Moldau River.
