“Little House, Waiheke Island, New Zealand” Selected for Abstract Zone 2026: Experience the Language of Pure Abstraction
Abstract Zone 2024 brings together artists from around the world working across contemporary abstraction in both 2D and 3D media. Presented by Exhibizone, the online exhibition considers color, form, movement, and material as ways of looking beyond direct representation. Included in the exhibition is Little House, Waiheke Island, New Zealand, a painting shaped by time spent at Casita Miro overlooking the vines and sea of Onetangi. Layers of mineral whites, softened pinks, warm reds, and sunlit golds reflect the vineyard landscape, mosaic surfaces, and the atmosphere of an afternoon shared over rosé, conversation, and shifting coastal light.

Press Release
What happens when art no longer tries to explain itself? When color, form, and movement take the lead—and meaning becomes something you feel rather than define?

Inspired by the words of Wassily Kandinsky, “There is no must in art because art is free,” Abstract Zone 2026 embraces abstraction not just as a style, but as a powerful language of intuition, sensation, and transformation.
In a world saturated with literal imagery and constant definitions, this exhibition offers something different. It invites you to pause, to feel, and to experience art without the need for explanation. Here, chaos becomes harmony, silence becomes rhythm, and the unseen becomes vividly present.
Abstract art has long stood as a revolution—breaking away from realism to explore the spiritual, emotional, and symbolic dimensions of human experience. In Abstract Zone 2026, that spirit continues through a diverse collection of works that challenge perception and invite curiosity. Shapes dissolve into movement, colors speak in emotion, and compositions open doors to countless interpretations.
More than a viewing experience, Abstract Zone 2026 is an interactive journey. Visitors are encouraged to engage directly with the artworks; sharing their impressions through ratings and comments, discovering how others perceive the same piece, and becoming part of a dynamic global dialogue around art. Each interaction adds a new layer of meaning, making every visit unique.
This is where abstraction lives—not as something distant or obscure, but as something deeply human. A space where instinct leads, imagination expands, and every viewer becomes part of the artwork’s story.
Step into Abstract Zone 2026, and let what you see become what you feel.

This painting was inspired by time spent at Casita Miro, perched high above the vines in the Onetangi wine-growing region of Waiheke Island. Overlooking the village and the sea, the vineyard blends art, architecture, and landscape through its mosaic terraces and vibrant setting. The work reflects an afternoon celebrating a birthday at the vineyard, where sunshine, conversation, and glasses of Casita Miro’s Provence-style rosé shaped the colors and atmosphere translated into the painting.
The composition draws from the mosaiced Bond Bar created by winemaker Barnett Bond, where layered brushstrokes echo the tiled patterns found throughout the property. Pearlescent mineral whites reference the mineral-rich soils beneath the vines, while the palette of soft pinks, warm reds, and sunlit golds reflects the rosé itself. Like the wine, the painting balances brightness with structure, bringing together fruit, earth, sunlight, and sea into a layered memory of place.
Original paintings are created with archival materials and are available for private collection, with larger commissioned interpretations available upon request.
