The richness of these attributes naturally evolved as Shorya’s signature style in every work that he has created. The maturity of his creations defies his age.What is abstract art:Abstract art tends to push the boundaries of vision, thoughts & perception of the observer. To understand abstract art you will have to take conscious efforts to identify & understand your feeling upon watching the painting. If you get a good feeling upon watching the painting, you can be sure your understanding has begun. Once you achieve the artists perspective, each moment will reveal itself in a new glory. The capacity of an artist to generate these feelings determines the quality of his paintings.
