Window curtains Pictures and Tips

Many people consider window treatments as finishing touches to the rooms decor, and usually pay little or no attention to this interior detail. However, window treatments should never be neglected, as they play an important part in emphasizing the individual character of the place. Window curtains truly stand out in any well decorated room. They add that extra pinch of style and panache to a house. Apart from that, buying a custom made (custom tailored) curtain can have various other uses like:

• hanging a translucent curtain over a window to frame a view


• a curtain can easily make a lovely doorway to separate eating, dining or entertainment rooms. It enhances privacy while maintaining décor


• long curtains can often give a false impression of a higher ceiling, making the room look larger and more elegant


• hanging a curtain around an art piece would give the whole room a princely touch.

Understanding Abstract Art

Artwork which takes liberties, altering for instance color and form in ways that are conspicuous, can be said to be partially abstract. Total abstraction bears no trace of any reference to anything recognizable. In geometric abstraction, for instance, one is unlikely to find references to naturalistic entities. Figurative art and total abstraction are almost mutually exclusive. But figurative and representational (or realistic) art often contains partial abstraction.

Both Geometric abstraction and Lyrical Abstraction are often totally abstract. Among the very numerous art movements that embody partial abstraction would be for instance fauvism in which color is conspicuously and deliberately altered vis-a-vis reality, and cubism, which blatantly alters the forms of the real life entities depicted.




Abstract art uses a visual language of form, color and line to create a composition which may exist with a degree of independence from visual references in the world. Western art had been, from the Renaissance up to the middle of the 19th century, underpinned by the logic of perspective and an attempt to reproduce an illusion of visible reality. The arts of cultures other than the European had become accessible and showed alternative ways of describing visual experience to the artist. By the end of the 19th century many artists felt a need to create a new kind of art which would encompass the fundamental changes taking place in technology, science and philosophy. The sources from which individual artists drew their theoretical arguments were diverse, and reflected the social and intellectual preoccupations in all areas of Western culture at that time.
Abstract art, nonobjective art, and nonrepresentational art, are loosely related terms. They are of similar, although perhaps not identical meaning.
Abstraction indicates a departure from reality in depiction of imagery in art.



I believe my featured Abstract Artist is driven by the science of  abstract art, according to the definition above, Lasha explained to me what drives his creative works in the paragraph below.

Lasha Khidasheli is a person deeply driven by concerns of the existential relationship of time, space and human interaction. The sculptures express my basic philosophy of existence, time, mass and energy. The essence of my artistic views is revealed in Creation.

Creation is a sculpture looking backward to the beginning of the universal existence. Two diametric energies crash together producing the beginning. Here is the fusion of two entities. Creation shows white limestone shining with the bright light of the ideal in humanity – while black serpentine groans with the midnight of darkness. The heaviness of stone is made fluid with ornamentation and carvings which assert brightness of the vision surrounding creation. The source of the light for our existence is the sun whose face is light, now and forever. Dark shadows pierce the bright areas of sunlit stone – weeping black tears of dark wine of evil and despair. The light is greater than the darkness. Primordial words shout from the darkness. The white need not explain its existence as it will conquer in eternity. Creation was a deeply thoughtful force. Attending all Creation is the god of light. Beyond these antithetical powers flows time, realizing nothing.

His style of work is Modern abstract ( Lasha works in stone , wood and bronze.) his accomplishments in art, both international and in the United
