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.

Several Ways to Promote Your Art Online and Offline by Artmiabo

Several Ways to Promote Your Art  Art is truly in the eyes of the beholder, who love what they see immediately, but the purchasing of the Art is a different ball game.  People tend to make a decision to buy your art after several views that is the way it works.   For some fewer views and they buy, while others several views before a collector makes a purchase.             Abstract Flower Painting, Wall Art,  by Miabo Enyadike The reason for these disparities is sometimes, name recognition could prompt a quick purchase or good presentation of your Art could be a factor.  While on the other hand poor presentation, costing, need, and relevance could lead to delays.  The issues here are relative, there is no quick magic to sell your art, you just have to put it out there for people to see and decide for themselves.  I have been fortunate to be in the Art business for over 20 years, so I have a...
