Kandinsky's early works were inspired by Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, but he later moved towards abstraction. He believed that colors and shapes could communicate emotions and ideas without the need for representational images. He often used bold, bright colors and dynamic compositions in his paintings.
Some of Kandinsky's most famous works include "Composition VII" (1913), "Yellow-Red-Blue" (1925), and "Several Circles" (1926). He also wrote extensively about art theory and was a pioneer in the field of art therapy.
Kandinsky's influence can be seen in the work of many modern and contemporary artists, and his innovative approach to abstraction continues to inspire artists and art lovers around the world.
