Materials used: Toothpaste / chalk / acrylic / cloth on plywood.
My very first original minimalistic abstract painting from 1986 (44 cm x 45 cm) - Part One - Island In White - Loneliness ... nicely fitting the theme of the current ArtStyleArt contest.
No man / woman is an island... we cannot exist alone. I am now 59 years old, reflecting on a long life filled with relationships - some successful and some not ... sometimes getting hurt, sometimes hurting others...
Exactly thirty-one years ago - my first humble (baby) steps in abstract art - to call it a work of art would be a bit much ... but it still is a part of me as an artist. It is displayed in my mother's living room in Trier, Germany ... next to artwork she collected over the years (by more famous German painters, I have to add).
Lol thats toothpaste?!

Hi, yes ... toothpaste mixed with chalk :-) At that time (as a young student), i couldn't afford lots of acrylic paint or any other expensive materials ... but I had a lot of toothpaste and plywood, hahaha.

I like this @peterheckmann. It made me think. Interesting use of mediums for texture, but works very well.
Thank you for sharing this.

Hi @aksinya ... just what the challenge asked for ... pure minimalism - all white and a nice texture ... with an unusual medium - toothpaste. :-)
