Abi Warner’s paintings are a visceral burst of color, memory, and emotion—blurring the line between the surreal and the autobiographical. Working primarily in acrylic and watercolor, Abi paints with instinct rather than strict planning, letting intuition, mood, and music guide each brushstroke. Her pieces often feel like dreams you almost remember—flickering with elements of futurism, nostalgia, and a touch of chaos.

Rather than striving for technical perfection, Abi’s work embraces distortion, saturation, and abstraction to communicate emotion in its rawest form. You’ll see familiar symbols twisted into something new—eyes, hearts, stars, and portals—recurring motifs that serve as visual metaphors for vulnerability, escapism, and self-discovery.

Each painting is a snapshot of Abi’s inner world—a way to process chronic illness, mental health struggles, and the complexity of existing in a body that doesn’t always cooperate. Her influences—ranging from Van Gogh’s movement to Betsey Johnson’s maximalism—come through not just in the aesthetics, but in the permission they gave her to feel deeply and create loudly.

For Abi, painting isn’t just an artform—it’s therapy, rebellion, and storytelling all at once. Whether on canvas, wood panel, or upcycled materials, her work invites you to feel something, remember something, or see yourself a little differently.
