"A conscious decision to eliminate certain details and include selective bits of personal experiences or perceptual nuances, gives the painting more of a multi-dimension than when it is done directly as a visual recording. This results in a kind of abstraction... and thus avoids the pitfalls of mere decoration."

The comment is really appreciable. Abstraction is a kind of mental unconsciousness that is prevalent among all of us. So it is truly an abstraction of mind that is expressed in the work.
