 Old newspaper, laying around the house or piled up in the house is sometimes distressing, specially if it is turning into a nightmare.

 I know once a week the paper recycling truck arrives to collect paper, but my natural hoarding instincts, refuses to let go!.

  In my mind I'm thinking, I can use this pile for something I mean something, really.... really good and I ask myself  WHAT and WHEN?.

 Well that time finally came, I thought about creating a series of mixed media paintings,with newspaper using acrylic paint.
Blue flower Art


I chose a blue flower as my subject, I may not be a keen gardener, I just love flowers and how they bloom and color our lives.

  Besides that, my garden and that of my neighbors are filled with flowers, all popping different colors.

 I love the blue because it looks out of place, amongst red, white, yellow and the greens.

 HOW I MADE MY BLUE FLOWER ART.......
I created this Art by drawing the shapes of the petals on old newspaper, cutting out the drawing and gluing it to a wood board.

  I proceeded to paint the flower with blue acrylic and the background wine red to give the painting some depth so the flower pops. I sealed  my art with acrylic varnish 


                                                CHRYSANTHEMUM FLOWER 

Now,when I see the paper recycling truck passing by my house, I smile and wave wondering what would have happened, if I had let my old newspapers go hmm......... 

 Enjoy my mixed media painting,my expression of a blue summer flower

Expressionist Abstract Art of Women by Miabo Enyadike

Expressionist Abstract Art of Women  Drawing women and their expressions is something, I am truly interested in. Female profiles and faces in abstract is intriguing and Ink drawings, are a way for me to throw that notion out there, of a female portrait created differently.  This is something that is important to me as a woman artist, this matters.                                                                                                                  I draw faces in a way that is uncomplicated  and easy to read, in a rather caricature way though not comical, with ink, it is easy to let the colors flow so that they create for me, the facial contours and structure.  My emp...

MY ARTIST DEFINITION/EXPERIENCE An Artist is one that is creatively free-spirited meaning one that creates a world around themselves that conforms to the life they portray through their works. The life of the artist is simple yet complicated with ideas on how everything from food, clothing, lifestyle, music, how kids are raised, environment and social issues should be interpreted.  Most artists express these views through various forms of visual and fine art and it is left for interpretation by the viewer or people in general who view this art and are sometimes confused about the Artists true genuine intentions and reasoning.  Most artist if not all have experienced this confusion from the audience, gallery owners, collectors, sponsors, and family.  My experience with most galleries, I ...

Modern Abstract Art Silhouettes to view | Miabo Enyadike

  Modern Abstract Art Silhouettes to view   I enjoy painting abstract art silhouettes especially faces.The simple reason is I can manipulate the profile of an individual, with several layers of color. Color for me is an integral part of my art aesthetics I allow color to lead my creative process in the way I see the art I am about to create.            Silhouette of a woman; Abstract Art; by miabo enyadike. My Abstract Art this week is all about using colors to create a simple silhouette, of a woman and a man. When I decided to create this particular abstract painting, it was more of emphasis on color than on the human profile. I wanted to see what the outcome of the creative process would look like.  Also to see if and when the human features are covered in colors, other than our natural colors would this Art evoke any emotions?... that simply belies the fact, that color seems to be one the many problems we have in our so...

Waste Recycled - A Sustainable Art Living by Miabo Enyadike

The Art of Sustainable Living Sustainable living, Found Objects, Recycling,  Up-cycle, Eco Art, call it whatever has been my life style as an artist for many years.  My attitude toward the discarded found object is reflected in my home.  I collect used bottles, books, distressed wood, pine cones, used jeans, used clothing, used plastics and so many more to create art and design for homes, collectors and my store.  My home forms an integral part of my art process, because I work and live in the same space as the Art I sell. My early inspiration came from Jasper Johns early works where he used mostly found objects to create art.                          Cross Made out of Wood, Egg Shells and Egg Crates Then I moved on to be inspired by street art here in Africa through my travels across the continent.  I discovered really moving and inspiring art, created with found objects that we take for granted ...
