P. Nizamas "inner necessity" to express emotional perceptions that led to the development of an abstract style of painting is based on non representational properties of color, shade and form.

Paula's abstract and figurative compositions are the culmination of artist's efforts to create "a pure painting" that would provide the same emotional power as a musical composition.

An artist views the compositions as major statement of artistic ideas. Just as symphonies define milestones in the career of a composer. Paula's abstract and figurative compositions represents the culmination of artistic vision at a given moment in an artist's career.
