Textile Abstract Art 'Tears That Keep Flowing' | Artmiabo


Tears That Keep Flowing 


Abstract Art and Art Storytelling come hand in hand, I tell stories that I have seen happen, read about or have had a similar experience through abstract Art.


 To me it really doesn't matter much what style or expression I use to interpret my stories, I use what is available to me and try to make the best out out it.


Hence the use of textiles for this Art project.
Fabric cut offs for me, its just like a dog and a bone. I love, to collect fabrics samples and cut offs.

 My ears are fastened to the ground, for any information on fabric cutoffs. 

My last batch of textiles, came from a charity store, down the road. I took advantage, of the fact that I'm known there already, to choose the best, right inside the managers store room/office.

I descended on brocade, cotton, poly cotton, jersey and good linen textile cut offs with great pleasure!

This time around I was going to create contemporary art, with these textile cut offs.

Patience, had to be brought in as well as endurance these two had to play a part in this new adventure, I was about to embark on.

I mean I am no stranger to contemporary textile art I am familiar with the  brilliant works of quite a few of the artists, who are masters in this art.







I just have never seen myself doing it. It just felt right for me at this point to try it.

I said to myself, its needle and thread right but found out later its much more than that.

It is the raw emotions of the artist being interpreted with textile, expressing or silently voicing out an event or situation that is all too familiar.

Why I titled this Artwork   'TEARS THAT KEEP FLOWING'-1&2.


 I did so as I have come to observe both as an artist and human being, that there is simply a continuous good or bad occurrence in our lives, due to no fault of ours.


These things just happen and break us, no matter how resilient we may seem.

If it is not us directly, then its someone we know or someone else.

These works of mine, are about tears that just keeping flowing for disasters that stem from disease out breaks, 
natural deaths, loss of a child, loss of a spouse, multiple deaths from plane crashes, natural disasters and victims of human trafficking.

Others include boat mishaps for refugees, xenophobic attacks, political killings, insane wars against humanity, destruction of ancient artifacts, rape, extortion, unjustified killings, the list just goes on and on. 


Every morning that we are blessed and privileged to experience a new day, if the tears are not running down our faces, we are grateful and thankful.

We know, deep down in our hearts it is favor, from the lord because out there somewhere, there are tears that are flowing.....Enjoy.

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...

Artists Staying True To Your Art Style | Artmiabo

  Artists Staying True To Your Art Style STAYING TRUE TO YOUR ART STYLE What is Your Art Style? The Artist, especially the fine Artist is one that communicates their raw and true emotions through their work.   The talent that is birth through these kinds of emotions from the Artist, is the Artwork we see them create time after time, giving it relevance regardless of their personal social status. This for me is the definition of the Art style of an Artist .  Consistency is key as well as fluidity, an ability to play with all mediums and still be recognizable is the defining factor of an Artist with their own style.                    Your Art style is not a trend but one that is given to the Artist as a personal vision and its instructed from within so much that even the Artist cannot really explain how or run away from it  but can only translate this vision into reality.     ...
