When Art Takes Over: A Day of Ink, Fashion, and Garden Dreams by Miabo Enyadike

When Art Takes Over: A Day of Ink, Fashion, and Garden Dreams

Sometimes, a day unfolds exactly as we plan it. Other times, it takes a surprising turn, guiding us into the realm of our daydreams. My intention was to spend the day immersed in acrylics, creating a vibrant series of paintings. Instead, I found myself drifting in my studio, drawn toward thoughts of a refreshed wardrobe and a well-tended garden.

 My hands, almost instinctively, reached for paperboard, ink, and pen. With each stroke, I brought to life the vision of an inviting, lush garden, carefully pruned and vibrant—a haven that existed only in my mind, now on paper.

The next images on paper were whimsical pieces of clothing, each one inspired by my own artwork. I began sketching dresses and outfits, dreaming up a wardrobe where each piece bore the spirit of my illustrations. I imagined what it would be like to wear these art-infused creations, turning my sketches into statements of personal expression and style.

In my art world, I continued to explore. Boots appeared next, their design inspired by my fondness for merging fashion with function, each line hinting at journeys yet to be taken. Each piece on paper symbolized both the ordinary and extraordinary facets of my dreams—gardens to nurture, wardrobes to curate, and new chapters waiting to unfold.

As the day slipped away, I was no longer concerned with my original plans. The art took over, creating a narrative of its own. Through my ink on paperboard, I had found myself wandering through the beauty of simple, heartfelt daydreams. And in the end, I felt fulfilled, even without the acrylics.

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...

Abstract Art Faces Ideas to View Now | By Miabo Enyadike

My Art Weekend Project with Clipboards by Miabo Enyadike

                     Abstract art on clipboards                                       My weekend, was one I spent lazing around in my pjs, eating  flatbread and hummus.  Sounds crazy or weird but for me, it was fun and a bit out of the norm.  The weird part, was not the choice of food or being in my PJ's all day, but the brief I got from a client who commissioned me to create abstract Art on clipboards for him 10 days ago.                                 Well, I have done decoupage on clipboards but actual painting no.  Not only was I not so sure, his brief was equally abstract to say the least, "just paint me anything abstract on these clipboards he said".             ...

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 emphasis...
