As a member of the Etsy Treasury Team I've benefited from the advice, knowledge and opinions of a truly talented group. Luckily for you all - this blog is a place that you can benefit from the knowledge of our team as well.
Almost a year ago now, etsy added more listing options. One of these options is choosing two styles that your creation fits in. Well – a few of these styles I know, but I really feel that I need to do some research on them to feel more comfortable with my labeling. Lucky you – you get to come along for the ride.
I’m going to go right down the list – define each style and then show examples of them. Hopefully, once I’m done I’ll feel more comfortable choosing my styles and you will too!
Style: ABSTRACT
Abstract art, nonfigurative art, nonobjective art, and nonrepresentational art are loosely related terms. They are similar, although perhaps not of identical meaning.

And here are just a few examples of some abstract work I found on etsy:
Large Original Painting Abstract Texture from tjenkinsarts
Pottery Bowl Earthenware Clay Escher Fish in Purple, Blue and Green / Hand Thrown by Clay Lick Creek Pottery
Original abstract contemporary fine art palette knife floral painting by Nicolette Vaughan Horner
