6. Figurative Abstraction

Figurative abstraction blends abstract elements with recognizable figures or objects. Instead of completely rejecting reality, it distorts or simplifies it into abstract forms.

Artists like Pablo Picasso often combined abstraction with figurative elements. In this style, human forms, landscapes, or objects might appear simplified, fragmented, or exaggerated.

This balance between the abstract and the familiar makes figurative abstraction approachable for those who appreciate both creativity and recognizability.
