MODERN WATERCOLOR PAINTINGS, BY MIABO ENYADIKE

        



Watercolor paintings always excite me and I love to create them. 

I know I am an Ink person but watercolor always comes in handy when my Ink supplies finish.

 This weekend was one of those days, no Ink, so I worked with my watercolor paints, creating a semblance to my Ink illustrations and getting my weekend worthwhile.



               
                            Intense; watercolor by miabo enyadike, 2017





I focused on two color shades blue and red, and my subjects where the usual, women and flowers. 

I love these subjects they are my signature subjects....I spent the weekend on them drawing inspiration from my tulip flowers and pictures of women....I hope you like them....Enjoy

  Exploring the Beauty of Cape Verde: My Travel Photo Journey Some years back, I travelled to Cape Verde and I had a marvelous time and whilst there I did take a lot of photos in Cape Verde, but with a crazy schedule like mine, years went by without sharing them now I can and I'm doing just that sharing!.... Cape Verde, stunning archipelago off the northwest coast of Africa, is a true gem waiting to be discovered.

Abstract Art Paintings: Colors of Emotions Series by Miabo Enyadike

  Abstract Art Paintings: Colors of Emotions Series  This Abstract Art Series is based on color coded emotions. Emotions are feelings within us that we project outside, sometimes the turmoil we feel within us or the joy and happiness can be interpreted to mean a dark mood, red hot, happiness, sadness and more.  I created this art at a time the mood around the world was filled with mixed emotions, turmoil, confusion and anger due to COVID-19.  Art for me was a kind of escape and a way to translate how people felt, locked up and confused emotionally. Colors always play a part in our moods and emotions, the calm cool blue, determined red hot, happy yellow, green calm perfectionist, dark mysterious mourning black, all these interpretations of colors, project who we are or how we feel at certain times.  My abstract art series on emotions, tries to tie the colors of emotion together not as individual colors of emotions but as several emotions entangled up in our minds...

The Magic of Abstract Flower Paintings | Miabo Enyadike

                                   Expressionist Flowers Paintings  Abstract Expressionism is a way for me to express my art inspirations, I have always wanted so much color in my paintings, I don't know about most artists, but my art comes alive in my eyes when the colors burst wild.  I found comfort in the expressionist style of art, where color creates form and is entwined with action, this style allows me to express my inspirations and ideas in a way that is different but not far fetched.  In this floral series I find myself once again wondering if I am really an expressionist, or an artist still battling to find a style that satisfies my yearn for color, so I am back to floral paintings, in Abstract Expressionism or simply just creating in my own style maybe? Abstract floral paintings in expressionism, is way a I can depict a flower plant in a different perspective, colorful, bo...

Recycled Objects into Art: A Sustainable Art Living by Artmiabo

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 ...
