What Art Deserves in This Century by Miabo Enyadike

  What Art Deserves in This Century Miabo Enyadike What Art Deserves in This Century For too long, we have measured art by what it is instead of what it can do. The 21st century has changed the value of almost every industry. Technology has transformed communication. Data has become currency. Sustainability has become strategy. Creativity now drives economies. Yet, in many parts of the world, art is still expected to survive on admiration alone. I believe art deserves far more. Art deserves to be treated as intellectual capital. It deserves a seat in boardrooms, not just galleries. It deserves to influence city planning, education, healthcare, tourism, diplomacy, environmental sustainability, and economic policy. The greatest mistake we can make today is to continue seeing art as decoration when it has already become one of the world's most powerful tools for shaping perception, preserving identity, and creating wealth. When I look at the world's most influential cities, I do n...

Textile Abstract Art 'Tears That Keep Flowing' | Artmiabo

Tears That Keep Flowing  Abstract Art and Art Storytelling come hand in hand, I tell stories that I have seen happen, read about or have had a similar experience through abstract Art.  To me it really doesn't matter much what style or expression I use to interpret my stories, I use what is available to me and try to make the best out out it. Hence the use of textiles for this Art project. Fabric cut offs for me, its just like a dog and a bone. I love, to collect fabrics samples and cut offs.  My ears are fastened to the ground, for any information on fabric cutoffs.  My last batch of textiles, came from a charity store , down the road. I took advantage, of the fact that I'm known there already, to choose the best, right inside the managers store room/office.           I descended on brocade , cotton , poly cotton, jersey and good linen textile cut offs with great pleasure! This time around I was going to create c...

African Art- A Mother and Child: Abstract Art Painting | Artmiabo

  Existential Phenomenon of Love Between a Mother and Child I have a notion that visual idea abstractly told is a hallmark of visual intelligence.  My love for abstract expressionism is partly dependent on the liberty such technique of visual expression gives me to tell a story, gives the artwork to morph into an organism with multiple sensory effects, and inspires the audience to relate to artworks in a manner that appeals to them. Mother and Child is a story, albeit visually told.  The ink on the cardboard piece embodies the bond between Mother and Child. Stories like this resonate with everyone. It has a universal appeal, such that being told through the ages, by scholars, musicians, movies, and daily encounters, has not, for once, diminished its hold on the human psyche.  To have painted this with full details I.e eyes, nose, etc would have disrupted the flow of its universal appeal, and limited what is larger than a race.  The painting is a product of my th...

Exploring the Colorful World of Abstract Landscape Painting | Artmiabo

  Exploring the Colorful World of Abstract Landscape Painting Title: Aerial View Landscape Painting  Medium: Ink On Paper Style : Abstract Expressionism This  Abstract landscape painting is a style of art that aims to capture the essence of nature through non-representational forms, colors, and textures. Unlike traditional landscape painting that portrays a realistic image of a particular place, abstract landscape painting allows for more expressive and subjective interpretations of nature. In abstract landscape painting, the artist may use various techniques such as bold brushstrokes, drips, splatters, and mixed media to create a sense of movement and texture on the canvas. Colors are also an essential element in abstract landscape painting, with artists often using vibrant hues to evoke different moods and emotions associated with nature. In this abstract landscape I used Ink as the medium and kept to the expressionistic style of color and movement. While abstract ...

Art Gains Historical Weight: Why Supporting Emerging Artists Early Matters by Miabo Enyadike
