Menega Sabidussi, art & design. I am based in Vienna, Austria.   I like to work in many different styles but enjoy working on expressive abstracts as well as abstract graphics and minimalist designs the most. Current themes: abstract graphic art, minimalism and expressive moods, simplicity in black and white and vibrant colour, fluid organic shapes and formal structures, vivid and powerful modern abstract art for contemporary decors.   All artwork © Menega Sabidussi.
