I like paintings like this. I think it's important to remember that art is subjective. Different people can look at the same thing and interpret it differently based on their different life experiences and all the various idiosyncrasies that make people unique. That's not a bad thing.

While I absolutely agree that art is subjective, I see nothing in this that can entice a dialogue about the piece meaning or the emotion it radiate. I saw paint splashes on a wall that were more interesting because of strong pareidolia effect they give off. Talking about pareidolia, I have yet to see an artist use this strong feeling in their art. Draw random lines until you see something in them.

I actually do it ( not an artist ) as a form of relaxation and de-stressing. Leaving my brain inner mechanism do the work for me. I highly suggest doing it when feeling stressed. You'll likely see a pattern in the drawings and it's gonna tell you something about yourself. Mine is that the right hand is a stump as if amputated and it's something i do really struggle with since birth due to a handicap.
