Blue Abstract Painting

Blue is one of the most popular colors in the world, and it's no surprise that it's also a popular choice for abstract paintings. From light and airy blues to deep and rich navy hues, blue has a wide range of shades that can be used to create stunning abstract artwork. Artists have been creating brilliant works of art using only blue and white colors for centuries. In fact, the use of just two colors is an indication of sophistication and depth. Once used as a symbol of royalty due to its expensive source material it is now more accessible and artists use the deep navy to cornflower, for their palette, which allows them to create endless possibilities. Calming tints of blue are typically lighter, provoking feelings of health, healing, and tranquility. But for every tint there is a shaded inverse. Darker blues can take on a more powerful and serious tone, many of which are melancholic in nature.
Most artists even had ‘blue periods’ in their lives as the color managed to hold their fascination as they explored themselves or were in search of something great through the colour blue. Picasso’s Blue period where he only painted in colors of blue between 1901 and 1904 and Yves Klein who was searching for the perfect shade of blue using which he painted 200 or so monochromatic pieces of art are two famous stories. It also holds a special place in the abstract works of Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinski, Piet Mondrian and even Jackson Pollock.
