Abstract Art – Custom Abstract Paintings by Nikolaus Kriese

Contemporary Abstract Art as Commissioned Fine Art

Abstract art has shaped modern painting for over a century. Moving beyond naturalistic representation, it focuses on color, structure, movement, and emotional depth rather than figurative depiction.

In my studio, abstract painting is not decoration — it is a carefully composed fine art process. Each work is created with intention, material depth, and a refined painterly texture.

I specialize in custom abstract art commissions for private collectors, corporate interiors, architectural projects, and international clients.

Why Commission an Abstract Painting?

Abstract art allows for something unique:
It creates atmosphere without dictating meaning.

A commissioned abstract painting can:

• Transform architectural spaces

• Strengthen corporate identity

• Add emotional depth to private interiors

• Introduce dynamic color concepts

• Become a long-term collectible artwork

Unlike mass-produced art, a commissioned abstract painting is developed specifically for your space, scale, and aesthetic context.

Making the Intangible Visible

In Every Era, Artists Strived to Find Their Own Style

Throughout history, artists have sought to develop their own unique style—an individual mode of expression that breaks away from existing traditions and enables new interpretations of perception. Especially from the 20th century onward, advancements in science, architecture, psychoanalysis, fashion, and politics led to a new openness in viewing and representing the world artistically.

While earlier periods focused on naturalistic depictions of people, landscapes, and arrangements, artists increasingly aimed to make the invisible visible. Thoughts, emotions, and imaginary worlds took center stage. Figurative painting gradually dissolved, giving rise to abstract works in which the structures of reality became barely recognizable, offering only subtle hints of their origins.

This transformation marked a radical shift in art: moving away from the mere depiction of the external world and toward the expression of inner emotions and creative visions.

Oil or Acrylic? Material Matters

Most large-scale abstract commissions are painted in oil, as oil paint allows:

• Extended blending time

• Layered depth and luminosity

• Complex surface structure

• Subtle transitions in tone and color

Acrylic may be used for specific modern or architectural concepts, but oil remains the superior medium for depth and long-term presence.

The Commission Process

Every abstract art commission begins with a dialogue:

1. Discussion of format, scale, and color concept

2. Understanding the architectural context

3. Development of compositional drafts

4. Execution in the studio

5. Secure worldwide shipping

You receive a one-of-a-kind original — no prints, no reproductions.

International commissions are welcome.
