Floral design illustration to View | Artmiabo


floral design illustration






 Every Artist has a weakness for a particular subject, we tend to create different styles, use different mediums to express how we see our favorite subject. 






 I love to draw, paint and illustrate flowers, it is my favorite subject and one I can create easily, because of how flowers and natures true colors, appeal to me and my senses. 





















 Travelling overseas, always introduces me to a new shade of color and flower I have never seen before. I have been away and I'm back to Johannesburg, where the winter season is beginning. 












 During the summer season, that has just passed here in Johannesburg, I was inspired by the sheer variety of colors in flower shops and gardens. Even simple window boxes with flowers in them, popped out stunning colors.

























Afridrilles




 My favorite are the Chrysanthemum flowers that has essentially the best color variety, I also love tulips and little cactus plants.







 The green plants also look stunning in Vases, specially the indoor plant in my home right now.








 There were inspirations everywhere, prompting my imagination to create these flowers and plants illustrations.








 I decided to use metallic paint and Ink, to create the paintings just the way I see them, from within me. 








I Painted the flowers, in mostly blue,copper and bronze shades, because that is how I see them, from within my creative spirit. 














 I did not want the Art to look exactly, like the plants or flowers being referenced, I wanted them to appear different but recognizable .













 I preferred a slightly Abstract expression, for the flowers and I went on to repeat the same flowers, in different colors and slightly different shapes and lines. 








The result was simple and clear flower illustrations, with colors that nature might not have granted them, but Art can when it is a favorite subject of an Artist.







You can twist and turn and create several renditions, of the same subject, showing how dynamic and fluid Art is at all times, regardless of the subject. 




                           





A lot of Artist that I admire and respect, have in there published body of works, favorite subjects that they have mastered and gone on,








  to create them in forms and different mediums, that are peculiar to their Art Style.














  How they see these subjects and express them to the public view, is truly wonderful and inspiring to see.









Having a favorite subject matter, sometimes is referred to as an Artist statement work, or signature work as they would call it, I say maybe flowers are mine.........


                                   Enjoy!

Transforming Trash to Treasure: A Journey in Recycling Art with Discarded Objects By Miabo Enyadike

Transforming Trash to Treasure: A Journey in Recycling Art with Discarded Objects                 Taking long morning walks has become an essential exercise for me, serving multiple purposes. Not only do these walks help me maintain a sound exercise regimen, but they also offer the perfect opportunity to pick up discarded objects that catch my interest.              As I stroll through the neighborhood, I gather various discarded items, both small and large, because I see potential art in them. Breathing new life into these forgotten objects excites me, transforming what was once seen as trash into something beautiful and meaningful.                         This type of artwork is my true passion, and it always feels refreshing to me.

Abstract Art Silhouettes by Miabo Enyadike

Abstract Art Silhouettes Abstract Silhouette Art is a way to paint a subject without defining it's reality.  The inspiration behind these Abstract Silhouettes come from shadows that reflect from people. I have an interest in shadows and it is baffling how different it is from the real human. Though it forms its reflection from a human body its dark and Silhouette reflection of the human body is an interesting subject.   A silhouette, is described as an outline or dark shape of someone, or something visible in poor light against a brighter background according to Oxford Dictionary.  My silhouettes are the opposite, they are bright, colorful, vivid and animated and I love that.
