  Why Most Talented Artists Stay Broke (And How Strategic Art Marketing Fixes It) Chromatic Whispers, Abstract Painting by Miabo Enyadike. Available for Purchase at Saatchiart.com Talent has never been the main problem in the art world. The industry is saturated with skilled, intelligent, and culturally relevant artists.

African Mother and Child Abstract Figurative Series by Miabo Enyadike

  African Mother and Child Abstract Figurative Series African Mother and Child is a contemporary abstract folk series by Miabo Enyadike, exploring themes of nurturing, lineage, and cultural continuity within African life.
