‘Painting is not a leisure activity, so it’s not a waste of time!’. That’s what most people used to think, but these days they have become more engaged and see it differently, as the money attached to paintings keep growing. 

The internet has made it possible for artists to sell their paintings at good prices, and have cost free shows and exhibitions online that draws an audience.

This trend is encouraging and people are beginning to recognize the power of paintings and the narratives they convey. Leisure? not any more!.

When I started meddling with paint, I was maybe 11 or so, but I still remember the joy of discovering new hues and I still find that exciting till this day. I can’t imagine my life without  paint or color It just would be so very dull!


Unfortunately, some people have not tried to discover yet the joy of drawing and painting, or any other form of art.  If you belong to those who believe that it is a waste of time, just think of so many things that are a real waste of time, but not this one.


Being creative releases a part of your soul , you feel free, you feel you can do everything, because imagination can do everything.

You are a different person and if you have problems to solve, then this is the best way to do it.  Let yourself be creative, release your energy on art and you will feel calm and confident to go on.


There is no wonder why some people use Art Therapy.  They’ve found out the terrific advantages of this method on people’s feelings and behavior.  


And beware.  You don’t need to be an artist!

“I can’t draw a straight line,’ most people would say.  ‘So, what?’ Practice makes perfect!  That old saying applies so well in this case.

You can discover your hidden talent and become an excellent artist , or you can simply enjoy yourself in a creative way! However, it doesn’t really matter how good or bad your creation might be, it is yourself you are displaying in it, not your professional abilities.


So, take the first step.  Get a piece of paper and start now.  

                  

And don’t forget to enjoy it!

Thank you

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. 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 ...

Modern Abstract Art Silhouettes to view | Miabo Enyadike

  Modern Abstract Art Silhouettes to view   I enjoy painting abstract art silhouettes especially faces.The simple reason is I can manipulate the profile of an individual, with several layers of color. 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. When I decided to create this particular abstract painting, it was more of emphasis on color than on the human profile. I wanted to see what the outcome of the creative process would look like.  Also to see if and when the human features are covered in colors, other than our natural colors would this Art evoke any emotions?... that simply belies the fact, that color seems to be one the many problems we have in our so...

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 ...
