An abstract impressionist artist is someone who acts almost like a medium themselves. They become the catalyst between the world and the canvas. An abstract expressionist is an artist in the truest sense of the word. These artists put their own individuality aside and allow the paint and the paint brush or in my case, the poured paint, to determine the final result on the canvas.
