Eternal Optimist: Abstract Face painting by Miabo Enyadike
                     

My Abstract Inspiration is always Picasso driven:

 My abstract art paintings always draws from Picasso's thinking of being truthfully different and defying all odds, it just has to be the way I see and feel it.

And my interpretation of how I saw and felt the covid pandemic is the art you are viewing before you.

As an Artist, I think the pandemic and all the confusion around it made me feel bald somehow, our Fragile Humanity once again is falling apart and everything that we know and love is kind of being taken away from us without a calming remedy or a solution. 




My new abstract art painting 'Eternal Optimist' is reminiscent of an abstract art series and blog I did a while ago titled Fragile Humanity, I could see a semblance in these artworks, made in different times to address different situations the similarity in both is our shared humanity! and the fact that it is under threat.


Eternal Optimist: Abstract Face painting by Miabo Enyadike





Our lifestyle is falling away from us before our very own eyes, every day we wake up is just another huge loss of life and livelihood,  it just feels like a huge hair loss but even worse because we can't Wig it or Win this!. 

It's almost impossible to fathom how? when our humanity is so laid bare by a virus plucking at us making us bald in all areas and making us doubt what we believe and who we are. 

              



And then it occurred to me as I stared at my colorful Abstract art painting that our shared humanity is at stake but it is kept alive by our optimism about life, family and those we love and cherish, is what keeps us going.

Applauding our doctors and nurses as they fight this unseen enemy, keeping our social distancing, helping the elderly and innovating new ideas and ways to extinguish this virus, also praying that this baldness ravaging our Fragile humanity stops. 






Knowing in our shared humanity that we are all in this together, please stay safe and to all artists out their, the world needs are recorded art of these times as future historic references.

Expressionist Abstract Art of Women by Miabo Enyadike

Expressionist Abstract Art of Women  Drawing women and their expressions is something, I am truly interested in. Female profiles and faces in abstract is intriguing and Ink drawings, are a way for me to throw that notion out there, of a female portrait created differently.  This is something that is important to me as a woman artist, this matters.                                                                                                                  I draw faces in a way that is uncomplicated  and easy to read, in a rather caricature way though not comical, with ink, it is easy to let the colors flow so that they create for me, the facial contours and structure.  My emp...

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.

Color for me is an integral part of my art aesthetics I allow color to lead my creative process in the way I see the art I am about to create.            Silhouette of a woman; Abstract Art; by miabo enyadike. My Abstract Art this week is all about using colors to create a simple silhouette, of a woman and a man.

Waste Recycled - A Sustainable Art Living by Miabo Enyadike

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 ...
