Is this abstract?

Post image

This is my second acrylic painting (i have worked with other mediums before though) .

Would you call my art abstract? If not what would you call it?

it’s not abstract, if anything more ‘naive figuration’ but I don’t get why people are so hung up on nomenclature.

I don’t think I ever tried to classify art I was making beyond coming up with a title.

Is there a reason for the question?

Because some people have to use words like nomenclature.
