Artist Artworks By Miabo Enyadike


 'THE ARTIST' 
PUTTING OUR WORK 
OUT THERE.   



The artist is one with a vivid imagination, a complex, 
yet beautiful and intense mind.

 Our ability to observe and translate events, objects, humanity, lifestyle and pain that we see around us, 
into a gift that is shared and received by all who see it and term it  "Creativity", is what oils our artistic wheels to keep moving.

It encourages us artist, to keep on creating and 
expanding our gift, to the delight of our Audience.

What comes in between this creativity, is how 
artist suffer in the name of their craft.

 The difficulty it entails to put this beauty, created by us called "Art Works",out there, be it paintings, sculpture, graphics, fashion,  pottery or ceramics, photography etc and be taken seriously by galleries, markets, dealers, collectors etc.....is a huge, if not an herculean task to bear.

 That brings me to the issue, of the Internet and the artist. The Internet has created a platform for the artist that could be far reaching than we artist anticipate.

 An artist can make a living by the side, regardless of brick and mortar or huge financial commitment, just by uploading and clicking.  

Whilst waiting for the big break, we all dream about and desire.

The Internet at least is on the side of the artist.

The reason I say so is from my own experience.

The Internet galleries, when you find a good one with a good track record, are not out to put our works down, or ask us to come back in two years time, when they understand what your art is all about.




CRIME! WHO  DONE IT;MIXED MEDIA; Miabo Enyadike



Neither do they go comparing us, to other artist or berating our artistic efforts.

The Internet is simple;

 (1). It encourages us to be entrepreneurs of our gift.

(2).Stay true to our creativity, whilst  putting our Art out there for us effortlessly.

(3). Introducing us to dealers, patrons, lovers of Art,  Art communities with common interest. True and valid critiquing.

(4). Opening our eyes, and giving us a glimpse of what other artist are doing, to promote their Art and Craft.

(5). Showing us ways, to harness this gift that is given to us in a good way, through collective efforts and encouragement, by our peers in the art world.

(6). Where Artist, all over the world can view each others  work, get inspired and be motivated.

(7). The Artist, does not have to leave their 
homes or home country,  to exhibit  to be known, it is truly amazing and gratifying.

(8). The best part, is the sense of community. Also the knowledge, that you are not alone in this, regardless of what part of the world you are from.

There are several on line  galleries, that create a platform for the artist. 

These on line galleries introduce artist, to a broader audience and they are free.

 Artist can simply upload their work and sell through these platforms.


All that is needed is for you the artist,to have work that is made by you that's all.

To access these online galleries is easy.

It's not "rocket science", simply search on the Internet for example,  Online art galleries
 or How to sell your art on the Internet. 

And the Artist, will get to see a lot of these on line art galleries and platforms, to choose from each offering opportunity.

 Some for free, they take a commission if the work is sold, others might take a stipend, for you to be a member. 

Bottom line, it all boils down to the fact that they exist and are out there to assist the artist.  






For me as an Artist, it comes as a great relief that I can put my work "out there" in any manner I choose.

Then  hold my breath, that people receive it in good faith and enjoy this gift called "Creativity".
........Enjoy

Art Bottles by Miabo Enyadike

 

Art bottles


This Art bottles Project is inspired by People queuing or waiting in lines to be served.This is one duty that we hate, somehow  it puts us in our place sort of. This is one aspect of life that speaks for itself.

 In some cases it could be manipulated like in a high end restaurant. Regulars, the affluent and celebrities can deny you and I an opportunity of a reservation, even when we are there first.  Majority of other Issues in life we have to wait in line.

To name a few, Migration, finding true love, childbirth, medical issues, creating a business, being a successful artist,  buying a custom Ferrari or any new designer product, requires waiting of some sort.

The inspiration behind this mini installation, is how my friend and I had to wait in line, for hours at the post office the other day.

 We were in such a hurry and that was the only post office close by that we could renew our driver's licence, every other one would be a journey.

 Despite how busy we were, we knew driving  our cars after that day would be a police fine.  We just had to wait our turn and oh boy! did we wait.

 As I tried to occupy my mind with "good thoughts" of the people in front of us and at the same time frustrated with the slowness of the attendants, that was when it occurred to me that waiting in line, is one of the most humbling and frustrating experiences.

This is one thing that we all have to go through in life regardless of our status, race or educational background in society.

 Life is full of waiting!.

Some people, might disagree with this view that's okay. My point here is not all about physically waiting in line, it is about the good and bad things in life that make us wait. 

Bottom line, we have to persevere, endure and wait sometimes.This could be physically, other times mentally and even spiritually, to get to where we desire to be. 

That's all I'm saying..........Enjoy.

Art Portraits of Children by Miabo Enyadike


   Art Portraits of Children

 To continue from my last blog the 
Clipboard weekend, I have now finished the abstract children paintings requested by my client.

 By the way, my client knows I'm blogging about it anyway, because I said I would since this is a strange brief. 

They sounded amused,welcomed the idea, at least they see the fun in it.

 Their instructions were, "paint our kids on A5 canvas and they should be abstract".

 That was a bit odd because I  know these kids very well, they are really beautiful and cute. Why would their faces be distorted?.

 Why the emphasis on making their faces abstract and  unrecognizable,  that was confusing and I thought, I was the abstract buff!.

 Anyway I tried my best to create what they asked for, a little scared and concerned, but elated they liked them. 

I had them come over and they loved the paintings, and then they explained to me, that they just wanted to be different and wanted paintings of their kids, that would be relevant, in years to come.

 They said they wanted more of art, that would create conversation, than a picture they already have.

 Well I saw their point of view, did it make sense to me maybe, but all that mattered   to me, was at least I helped bring their vision to pass.

I equally learnt that being an artist, is one thing having creative Ideas, is another thing in itself. And that was what my clients had creativity!........... Enjoy.
