I don't see how this is abstract. Abstract refers to something that references something in the natural world, to an abstracted degree. This would be non-representational artwork. Still, it looks good. The color choice is appealing. I don't think I like the way the diagonal lines don't follow along the same implied line, and I don't really like the blurry, smeary faded chunks. They look like the don't belong in the aesthetic everything else is a part of, but these are minor gripes. The texture on the background is a nice touch. Overall, I like it.

The colors remind me of Penny Arcade. I don't usually like abstract art but this is nice. I like the color choices, etc.

Ignore turlespanker1 - obviously knows little about art.
The composition is great and surprisingly well balanced. I'd have left out the carbon coloured abrushed overlay in the centre-right of the piece. None of it eads very well other than the small triangular gradient that actually appears to give the piece breasts. No jokes. Removing it would probably take away some of the femininity and depth of the image, but it could at least be tidied up a little there.
The colour palette is very dated, I love the early 90s minimalism with the squares and wedges, meeting probably the most popular colour palette from that decade, however the whole thing remains modern with that small amount of burnt orange. I bet if you changes the plum and the orange to lavender and that awful muted evergreen colour, this whole thing would look like wall from twenty years ago.
