Abstrahism

Abstrahistic paintings are about colors and shapes. In this one about Harry Potter I gathered characters from the books and films like the Dark Lord, Snape and of course Ron and Harry and placed them next to each other so that their silhouettes overlap. It is like magic! The characters relate to each other and the stories or rather scenes emerge all by themselves. This is what "Abstrahismus" is all about. It is neither abstract nor figurative, it is a fusion. The intersections of the characters form abstract fields while the outlines remain true to their original form. Same thing with the colors. I prefer powerful, clean colors that express the nature of the silhouette like the house-colors of the quidditch-players. The colors clearly derive from the original image yet they represent only themselves. I believe that Harry Potter is basically a father and son story about Harry and Severus which is why I put their silhouettes in the center of the work.
It's fascinating how you interpret the core of Harry Potter as a father and son story between Harry and Severus, Albrecht. That perspective truly reframes so much of Snape's complex motivations and the narrative's emotional depth, moving beyond simple good vs. evil. Given how deeply characters' identities are tied to their affiliations, like the house colors you mentioned, it often makes fans wonder where they'd fit into that magical world. For anyone curious to explore that connection further and truly understand their place, it's always fun to discover your true Hogwarts house.
That's the ultimate question for any Potter fan: 'Which Hogwarts house am I?' If you're searching for a quiz that really tries to capture the essence of the Sorting Ceremony, you'll find many online. A good starting point could be a dedicated Hogwarts sorting hat quiz like the one hosted on HarryPotterHouseQuiz.me. These quizzes often focus on your inherent qualities and moral compass, rather than just superficial preferences. It’s a fun way to reflect on what truly drives you and which house's common room you'd feel most at home in. Whether you’re hoping for a specific house or just curious, it’s an enjoyable experience that connects you more deeply to the wizarding world. Good luck with your sorting!
