Let's look at the artist Fahrelnissa Zeid (far al nissa z-eye-d), "The Turkish Artist who walked on her canvases".
Fahrelnissa was born in Turkey in 1901.
What is ABSTRACT ART?
Abstract art is art that does not attempt to represent an accurate depiction of a visual reality but instead use shapes, colors, forms and gestural marks to achieve its effect. It does not look true to life.
She said, "I did not ‘intend’ to become an abstract painter; ...But flying by plane transformed me … The world is upside down. A whole city could be held in your hand: the world seen from above."
She said, Often, I am aware of what I have painted only when the canvas is at last finished.
Fight Against Abstraction (Dispute contre l'Abstraction) 1947
Her art seemed to be an obsession with line and dazzling color.
Resolved Problems 1948
Artists find influences all around. Fahrenlisa's vibrant abstract paintings are inspired by the cultures
As she was born into a multicultural empire and traveled extensively, Zeid identified herself with many cultures.
"I am a descendent of four civilizations. In my self-portrait […] the hand is Persian, the dress Byzantine, the face is Cretan and the eyes Oriental, but I was not aware of this as I was painting it."

How exciting that as an artist, you can create in more than one particular style.
Will you create an ABSTRACT work of art made of lines, shapes, patterns and color?
Will you use pattern in your work?
Will you create portraits of friends and family?

So now when we look at Fahrenlisa's art it might be easier to see it is ABSTRACT
She said, "I did not ‘intend’ to become an abstract painter; ...But flying by plane transformed me … The world is upside down. A whole city could be held in your hand: the world seen from above."
She said, Often, I am aware of what I have painted only when the canvas is at last finished.

Resolved Problems 1948
Her studio was crammed with art--even on her ceiling and she wasn't particularly careful with her paintings as you can see in this photo. When her friends would visit, she would roll out one of her canvas paintings like a red carpet making her known for walking on her art.
