Tie Dye Abstract Painting Silhouettes of Women By Miabo Enyadike


Tie Dye Abstract Painting Silhouette of Women

Unveiling the Vibrant Tapestry of African Women's Traditional Attire

There's something truly captivating about the traditional dresses and national attires worn by the women of Africa. The kaleidoscope of colors woven into the fabric is not just beautiful; it's profoundly enchanting. It's a visual symphony that tells a unique story for every tribe, community, village, and country across the continent.

As an African woman, I can't help but be deeply connected to the colors adorning our fabrics. They are more than just pigments; they are a part of our heritage and something we cherish deeply.
  

These abstract silhouettes of woman is inspired by the Tye Dye fabric popularly known as 'Adire' here in Nigeria, West Africa.
The fabric design is made with wax and dye and it is worn by every  tribe in Nigeria.





 
As an artist, I've embarked on a creative journey to capture the essence of these colorful fabrics. In my paintings, I portray silhouettes of women wrapped in vibrant textiles, intentionally omitting their physical features.

My goal is to emphasize the fabrics in their truest form because, for us, it's not about the style, shape, or form. It's a celebration of our heritage, tradition, and the enduring beauty of these textiles.



 



  Join me in this colorful exploration and take a moment to appreciate the rich tapestry of African tradition and culture through art. Enjoy the journey.

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...

  Innovative Strategies for Selling Arts and Crafts                      SELL YOUR ART THROUGH BLOGGING ABOUT YOUR ARTWORKS.... 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   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 ...
