In 2023, I turned toward the intangible — painting atmosphere, pause, and sensation. This year taught me to let silence, softness, and subtlety take the lead.

In 2024, my paintings wandered — between styles, materials, and ideas — but always carried the same quiet urgency: to feel more, see more, and leave space for what cannot be named.

In abstraction, nothing stays still. Meaning mutates, dissolves, and renews. In this reflection, artist Ritu Raj explores the idea of the half-life of abstraction—the invisible moment when an artwork’s original intention begins to decay, and a new field of perception emerges between viewer and canvas.

Ritu Raj’s Organic Movement Collection explores cosmic forces, chaos, and organic abstraction through innovative twine painting on wet oil canvas.

How does abstract art express emotion without words? For Ritu Raj, it’s not about explanation — it’s about creating a space where feeling leads and form follows.

Abstract art doesn’t give you meaning — it invites you to create it. For Ritu Raj, the viewer’s response is not an afterthought. It’s the heart of the work.

Why choose abstract art? Because sometimes, the most powerful experiences live beyond words. Join me in exploring how abstraction invites us into feeling, presence, and connection.

Painting with twine is a meditative act of surrender—where control gives way to intuition, and organic forms arise from motion, not planning. Like neural pathways or emotional echoes, each mark reflects a moment of trust, allowing life to shape the work in its own way.
