Golden Orb of Inspiration

Golden Orb of Inspiration. Digital art created on canvas. August 15, 2024. Afrika Abney Last night, as I gazed up at the sky, the moon captured my attention with its luminous glow. It was a sight that stirred my imagination and inspired me to create. I decided to channel that inspiration into my digital abstract painting, where I chose to incorporate various shades of yellow. The warmth of the color seemed to echo the moon's gentle radiance, allowing me to express the beauty I felt in that moment.

Cross Bridges

I have crossed over many bridges. I have seen many bridges. I have been under many bridges and at the end of each bridge, there is hope and light. Cross Bridges. Digital art created on canvas. Afrika Abney

Blogs for marketing and strategy purposes

Many bloggers feel strongly about an issue or topic, and they are motivated to write about it to bring attention to a need.

Narrative Layers

Narrative Layers. Digital art created on canvas. October 2, 2024. Afrika Abney I created Narrative Layers, a digital abstract painting, using layered brushstrokes and vibrant colors with the focal color - red. Red represents determination, courage, resilience, and creativity. According to my research, “layered brushstrokes serve as a powerful representation of the different phases of artistic expression and emotional depth. Each stroke adds a unique texture and dimension, reflecting my evolving thoughts and feelings throughout the creative process. This technique not only enhances the visual appeal of the piece but also invites viewers to engage with the underlying story that unfolds within the layers. Ultimately, the culmination of these layered brushstrokes results in a finished piece that resonates with a profound narrative.”

Resilience Reflections

Resilience Reflections. Digital art created on canvas. September 27, 2024. Afrika Abney Looking back on the difficulties I faced in the past, one particular experience stands out vividly: the autumn of 2020 during the pandemic in Washington, D.C. This period was marked by a unique set of challenges that tested my resilience and adaptability. The atmosphere was heavy with uncertainty as the world grappled with the implications of the COVID-19 crisis, and the vibrant city I once knew was transformed into a quieter, more subdued environment. “The Autumn of 2020 in Washington, D.C., was marked by the unprecedented challenges posed by the global pandemic. As the leaves began to change color and the air turned crisp, the city, usually bustling with activity, found itself navigating a new reality. Public spaces that once thrived with tourists and locals alike were now quieter, with many events canceled or modified to adhere to health guidelines. The vibrant energy of the capital was tem...

Conversations and Services

Quote found on the Internet I am unaware of the conversations taking place, but I have not visited Malcolm X Park since 2015 and do not plan to return. Additionally, I have not offered any dance performance services since 2016. Furthermore, I would like to clarify that my blog, which I established in November 2021 does not allow for comments. I encourage readers to thoroughly engage with each post to gain a comprehensive understanding of the content. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
