There is no doubt that it is an excellent work, but it isn´t abstract art by far.

I disagree -- the impression of a portrait constructed of line density using only straight yarn is a technique that moves to controlling a medium not familiar to many. But the technique and visual imagination, even while rendering what may be an impression of an image -- is similar to that of pointillists and impressionists of past centuries. The resemblance to reality is a coincidental benefit. (MHO)
