The thesis titled »Visual and tactile paintings« is based on my exploration of
discovering a new perception of art, as well as the world.
In the theoretical part, I firstly tried to define the concept of abstract art, art informel,
reduction and minimalism as informel's contrary styles. I had to explain the concept of
matter and tactile painting for visually impared, so I could understand the process of
creating the paintings better. With being able to touch the paintings, I had to have more
insight into visual and nonvisual percetion, for which, most important was the touch.
With touch being the prime messenger, the texture also became the main element of
my art, so I stayed focused on tactile texture and how we percieve it. Lastly, I created
my paintings considering the chosen concept where I was disovering self expression
and style.
