In art, "abstract" often refers to works that do not mimic the outward appearance of real objects or scenes, but instead use shapes, colors, lines, or other visual elements to express emotions, ideas, or concepts. Abstract art can be very diverse, ranging from minimalist compositions to expressive, gestural works.
The exhibition "The Abstract Part of Me" explores the abstract world of the participating artists, fusing abstraction and figuration to present a world full of ideas, emotions and sensations, without constraints. The works serve as catharsis for their inner worlds.
In abstract art, women have brought new forms of expression and perspectives that often challenge traditional notions of art and aesthetics. Their works can explore a variety of themes and emotions, from personal experiences to societal issues.
The recognition of women as artists in abstract art has helped to expand the diversity and reach of the art world and create a more inclusive creative community. Through exhibitions, discussions and other initiatives, there is increasing recognition that women hold an important place in the abstract art scene and that their voices and visions should be heard and celebrated.
The exhibition "The Abstract Part of Me" is realized in collaboration with the Sechsschimmelgalerie gallery, District 4 Art and the MIR - Medias in Res association by Katerina Teresidi.

Jung was particularly interested in the depth psychological aspects of the creative process. He believed that creative expressions such as art and imagination can connect with our unconscious and help us connect with the archetypes and symbols of our psyche.
Regarding abstract art, one could argue that it challenges the viewer to go beyond concrete representations and explore deeper, symbolic levels. Jung would possibly view abstract art as a way to explore the unconscious and connect with the universal symbols and energies present within each of us.
