An artist who explores the unknown, Reine Polaris creates abstract works that often lead to unexpected and unpredictable outcomes. Part of the artist’s creative process is the use of visual elements, such as abstract forms, to create engaging and accessible works of art.

There is an undeniable connection between science and abstract art. Both often involve a degree of uncertainty and unpredictability. In science, experiments may produce unexpected results or lead to new questions that require further investigation. Similarly, in abstract art, the creative process often involves taking risks and exploring unknown territory, which can lead to unexpected and unpredictable outcomes.  
The Magdeburg hemispheres experiment visually demonstrates the principles of atmospheric pressure by showing how the pressure outside of the hemispheres prevents them from being separated. This experiment uses a physical and tangible representation of a scientific concept in order to make it easier for a viewer to understand. Apart from the clear scientific value behind the experiment, one can also extrapolate the overall mechanics of atmospheric pressure to life in general.  
Both the Magdeburg hemispheres experiment and abstract art demonstrate how visual representation can be used to capture complex processes and concepts in a way that is engaging and accessible for viewers. These visual representations evoke emotional responses and create a lasting impression on viewers, making them an effective means of communication and expression. Most Importantly, by using visual elements, such as physical objects or abstract forms, these representations can help people understand and connect with ideas and concepts that might otherwise be difficult to grasp.

“I never wanted color to be color. I never wanted texture to be texture, or images to become shapes. I wanted them all to fuse into a living spirit.” **(Clyfford Still)**


Abstract Expressionism is one of the defining art movements of the twentieth century. In the postwar era, painters and sculptors worked to establish a new aesthetic and visual language enabling them to express human emotions in a new and pure form. Working with a new-found physicality and sense of scale, artists like Lee Krasner, Willem de Kooning, Mark Rothko, and Robert Motherwell introduced viewers to an innovative form of artistic expression.


But what happens when the physical becomes digital. When our eyes move away from the canvas and instead focus on the screen. To admire intimate details or take in the full grandeur of a work on canvas we used to move closer or take steps back. With the invention of pinch & zoom, we can now explore and acquaint ourselves with a work like never before.


What does this mean for abstraction in the Web3 era? Why do artists continue to push forward with this ever evolving language? Our relationships as creators and audience has evolved. Technology has provided a myriad of opportunities to converse and commune with art. In the hands of emerging artists, new methods of working have developed, but the desire to express and share remain the same.
