Abstract Mixed Media Art Ideas

 As an abstract artist, mixed media art is always a form of creativity that most artists explore once in a while, and I love that. This art project is a combination of tribal African symbols on wood boards and abstract art on used shopping bags.




From the Cape (South Africa) to Cairo (Egypt) I mean entire Africa, there are traditional symbols that indicate a previous culture or people.




Some of these symbols can be interpreted to mean something significant, while some are mere decorative symbols, that are still in use today for traditional ceremonies or decorative purposes.

Using these symbols that are very familiar here in Africa was natural for me and lifting them into contemporary Art was even more exciting.




The shopping bags were ideas of using waste to create Art since I have quite a lot of bags I don't need. It felt good to put them to work and purpose that adds value. 


I created abstract art on them with acrylic paint, using the fluid painting method and simply attached the tribal Art to the fluid painting.

MY ARTIST DEFINITION/EXPERIENCE An Artist is one that is creatively free-spirited meaning one that creates a world around themselves that conforms to the life they portray through their works. The life of the artist is simple yet complicated with ideas on how everything from food, clothing, lifestyle, music, how kids are raised, environment and social issues should be interpreted.  Most artists express these views through various forms of visual and fine art and it is left for interpretation by the viewer or people in general who view this art and are sometimes confused about the Artists true genuine intentions and reasoning.  Most artist if not all have experienced this confusion from the audience, gallery owners, collectors, sponsors, and family.  My experience with most galleries, I ...

Why Most Talented Artists Stay Broke (And How Strategic Art Marketing Fixes It) by Miabo Enyadike

  Why Most Talented Artists Stay Broke (And How Strategic Art Marketing Fixes It) Chromatic Whispers, Abstract Painting by Miabo Enyadike. Available for Purchase at Saatchiart.com Talent has never been the main problem in the art world. The industry is saturated with skilled, intelligent, and culturally relevant artists. Yet most remain financially unstable, underpaid, or dependent on sporadic opportunities. This is not a coincidence. It is structural. The uncomfortable truth is this: talent does not create income. Markets do. Artists are taught to believe that quality work automatically attracts collectors, galleries, and opportunities. This belief is not just wrong, it is economically damaging. It keeps artists passive in a system that rewards visibility, positioning, and trust far more than raw ability. The art world does not run on fairness. It runs on signals. The Lie Artists Are Taught Early From art school to open calls, artists are trained to focus almost excl...
