Abrahams’ work is informed by his enthusiasm for Chagall, Picasso, and Miro, and his ongoing interest in “Outsider Art” (Art Brut) and he has observed that he enjoys ‘combining spontaneity and playfulness with exploring deeper aspects of the unconscious. […] fascinated with both unwrapping the mysterious and reinventing child-like expressiveness. Central to this process is the art of “letting go”'.
