Art Quotes By Famous Artists We Need 


"Art is the way I see it, from within me colorful and boundless by no one except me the Artist" - Miabo Enyadike 

This quote of mine was borne out of the experience as an artist with a different mindset, on how to create Art and the messaging involved in the narrative. 


My Art is color driven and boundless there are no affiliations, just me as an artist-driven by the passion to create something.


Abstract Art by miabo enyadike



Whenever critics and patrons alike ask questions about my Art style and its simplistic approach, 'Matisse' quote always comes to mind and it's confirmed further by Picasso's quote which I might think maybe where observations they had and spoke them aloud to their critiques.
