Wassily Kandinsky was a Russian painter known for his abstract, experimental style using simple shapes, colors, and lines, inspired by music. As one of the pioneers of abstract art, Kandinsky was not afraid to try new techniques unlike other artists of his time, similar to how Vashty's art uses dots but in a different way from Kandinsky's paintings where the music he listened to can almost be seen and felt through the artwork.
