Folk Art Tribal Symbols | Artmiabo

               Folk Art Tribal Symbols               CIRCLES, LINES, DOTS From the Cape (South Africa) to Cairo (Egypt) I mean entire Africa, there are traditional symbols that indicate a previous culture or people. DOTS AND RECTANGLES  Some of these symbols can be interpreted to mean something significant, while some are mere decorative symbols, that are still in use today for traditional ceremonies or decorative purposes. DOTS, TRIANGLE, RECTANGLES I have seen quite a lot of them in use as geometric designs, in African art and extended into International art as well.                       TRIANGLES AND DOTS I love these symbols and have used them for a lot of my creative endeavors and these are some of them ... ENJOY.                               ...

Abstract Painting Mama's Market | Artmiabo

Abstract Painting Mama's Market  I have always wondered thoughtfully, how to define the typical African woman? What drives her? What keeps her going strong? when all is obviously not well! What makes her go all out, to be there for her family regardless of her circumstances, and her ability to be the rock in her family, and weather all difficulties, whilst picking up all the pieces for those she calls her own.  In a continent that is ravaged by war, poor basic amenities, rape, women abuse, child marriages, poor education, no jobs, poor health care, frequent disease outbreaks and the worst, corruption!. Where every achievement taken for granted else where, is herculean in Africa.                          It is mind boggling, to see, day in day out the obstacle most African women, face to survive, let alone be a wife and a mother. Their refusal to be put down by events, be it tradition or otherwise and to a...

Abstract Mixed Media Art Ideas | Artmiabo

Abstract Mixed Media Art Ideas  As an abstract artist,   mixed media art is always a form of creativity that most artists explore once in a while, and I love that. This art project is a combination of tribal African symbols on wood boards and abstract art on used shopping bags. From the Cape (South Africa) to Cairo (Egypt) I mean entire Africa, there are traditional symbols that indicate a previous culture or people. Some of these symbols can be interpreted to mean something significant, while some are mere decorative symbols, that are still in use today for traditional ceremonies or decorative purposes. Using these symbols that are very familiar here in Africa was natural for me and lifting them into contemporary Art was even more exciting. The shopping bags were ideas of using waste to create Art since I have quite a lot of bags I don't need. It felt good to put them to work and purpose that adds value.  I created abstract art on them with...
