As the fifth art principle, balance means how the artist weighs their piece of work. Is it asymmetrical {balance all on one side, top or bottom of the piece}, symmetric or radial?
How would you say these pieces are balanced?
And what about this sculpted piece?
I tend to create more asymmetrical pieces than anything else. I really like having most of the weight in a painting on the top or bottom, one side or the other. I find that it creates a beginning, middle and end in a more harmonious way than typical symmetry.
What kind of balance do you like to see in a piece of art?

This is so above and beyond my head ;) I'm glad there's artists like you in the world to create these beautiful pieces for the rest of us to admire!
I am not an artist - I feel like everything has to be "even" I am more likely to be drawn to something that has paint all over the item equally. If that makes sense.
