I am aware that there is such a thing as abstract art, but even abstraction needs pre-meditated relation, that is, you plan this line and this color to connect to this other line or color in some way so the end product will look, even in chaos, harmonious. Harmony does not necessarily mean beauty, but it is one step to getting there.
