Abstract expressionism.

Explanation:

This art movement has Paul Jackson Pollock as the most well-known abstract expressionist. Pollock is an American artist who painted what he really wanted to express in every painting although everyone might think different because of how "visually messy" his paintings were.

well seeing i am an artist and i actually did a self portrait; i will describe how i painted it.   i used acrylic on a stretch canvas about 4 feet wide by 6 feet tall. i painted myself smiling in a soft pink long dress, white tile floor sitting on a white couch with a table behind and a vase of gorgeous flowers.   i also had a round white hat with a soft pink ribbon through it laying on the floor and on the table behind me was a lit candle. i kept it simple but soft and romantic.

where and what are the statements?
