    I have since few years an abstract painting that I wasn't able
    to attribute.
    The work measure 50 x 60 cm.
    On the back there is nothing (no mark , signature , stamp or similar).
    At the bottom on the right there is a monogram "LL".
    Thank you in advance.

    I see a deceased person lying down with either the black figure as alive and grieving or it’s the deceased persons soul leaving the body and not wanting to go. Be interested to hear what others think. I can only see two people though Bosko.

    Where did you find it ? Can we see the back ? And a close up of the signature .

    The painter might have a theme similar to the one you have, sometimes you can find out about things in a roundabout way. Is it oil on board or canvas? Seeing the back can help date it, ie staples, nails, etc.

    Identifying the painter is a real long shot. A close-up of the signature would be helpful. As would a photograph of the back. And in what part of the world did you find the work? What were you told about it? Is it oil on canvas?

    Zooming the monogram , the vision is quite clear.The 2 "L" are superimposed.
    On the back it's totally blank , white.
    I found it in an antiquarian fair in Italy and it's an acrylic painting on canvas.

    The identification of an artist is often aided by clues such as the age of the frame and the backing material of a work. It would help us help you if you posted a photograph of the back, not a description. It would also be helpful if you posted a photograph of the monogram from straight on rather than at a slant. And it's helpful to know that the artist is likely to be Italian.

    I put the photo of signature.
    I think he wasn't an italian painter.
    The back it's a totally white page , without nothing.

    You could try an Auction house who have art sales near where you acquired the painting, they may be familiar with the painter.

    If it is after Giotto, it could be inspired by one of these:

    The Entombment of Mary.

    Lamentation of Christ.

    Yes, Back in the early 20th c. they called such work 'Objective'. Abstract had no identifiable figures, objects, etc.
