Abstract

This ongoing research project focuses on the ways in which the influences of western art are ingrained in the artwork and contributed to significant shifts in the development of visual art in this country. The practice of observation, analysis, and classification for each selected connected artwork is supported by the review process from earlier and recent visual compilations as well as visiting the specific art institution, which might be public or private. The work was categorized and identified according to the topic, and the techniques and characters were used to highlight the features of the abstract style. The artwork produced by the female artists shows a different output and shares their identities and thoughts.
