My name is Miabo Enyadike a professional fine artist with a huge love for color. Most people who follow, buy, view and collect my Art always have this pressing question what is ARTMIABO?
Art-miabo simply means Art by Miabo Enyadike, it is expressionism, abstract, distinct, childlike, colorful and bold.
Artmiabo is a registered LLC and my brand name, it reflects my style of art.
My art style is Abstract expressionism style, the technique I use is Ink droplets on wet Smooth Paperboard.
I sometimes go further to add texture using Stencils, Ink pens, Stamps and geometric rulers etc to create a story around a subject matter without being to obvious.
BRIEF BIO
I am from Port Harcourt city in Rivers State Nigeria an oil producing province. I studied Fine and Applied Art Education and have a degree Honors from University of Ibadan in Nigeria in 1992.
Art has always been my life choice for 28 years now since grad school I have practiced Art. I didn't always create Art full time.
In the early years after grad school, I worked in the oil service industry and that didn't go down too well.
You bet I was selling art to colleagues....😅😅 after a while I knew it was time to make a choice between Art and the office, I chose Art...
I have remained true to my craft, opening my own art galleries and selling art for artists as myself opened a way for a greater understanding of the collectors and how they buy Art.
AWARDS AND RECOGNITION
In late 2006 I was awarded a Ford foundation Award for Contemporary Art and a grant by the Nigeria Institute of Art TERRAKULTURE.
The recognition inspired me to study interior design focusing on color and how to mix and match different shades and tones to create design.
I have since used that knowledge to create my color focused art, where unrelated colors are pulled together around a subject matter, the sole aim is to draw my audience directly to the art if it is installed in a space, it should be the focal view....
From Yaba College Technology 2018, in Lagos State Nigeria, I was given another award on 'Service to other Artist'
I teach fellow Artist for free on how to use color and also how to use social media to sell their Art, and I always note to them that Art, is difficult to sell but you must have to put it out there, constantly for people to see.
I Tell myself, I will be exhibiting something today, it could be a new art I just made or an old one, it doesn't matter I just put it out there, through whatever means available to me.
I never assume that people have seen my Art enough the earth has a lot of people in it, I hope they all see it, just hoping. So to keep me going on that hope, I post and share my art, so I teach that to artists who are shy and just starting out.
ART INSPIRATION
Today I couldn't be more satisfied knowing I am pursuing my life long dream.
I create Original Art 'The Way I See It'
colorful, bold and Childlike where the colors tell the story of the subject matter.
Hence my style which is Abstract Expressionism, I use colors to say it is okay to be unique in ones expression of how a subject matter is interpreted, through Colorful Abstracts that leaves only an idea of the subject been referenced.
My Art is different and I have participated in a lot of exhibitions and happy with the results. My Art style and purpose is approached from a childlike view.
The Purpose of my Art is to evoke a sense of 'not so subtle color takeover of our senses' with a limited idea of the subject'.
Being Inspired by Picasso, Nature and People I will
leave you with this Picasso quote
"Every Child is an Artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up"-Pablo Picasso.
Well there you go! I have remained an Artist 😂😂😂

Miabo Enyadike is a talented painter, her art is inspiring and quite often delightfully nostalgic.Her artistic oeuvre are often true to the aphorism that every 'Picture tells a story'. Some of her Art are compelling, while others are haunting. The rest in my view are mostly sublime. Her Art for the cover or my Book- Flash Fiction While We Hunker Down
is a compelling work of pure Genius that depicts the dislocation of a Proud African queen

I like and Collect Miabo's Art it is so Colorful and Strong. She always surprises you with her deliberate use of opposite colors to express her opinion about a subject in a way that is compelling.
