Enthusiasm in Color

Enthusiasm in Color. Digital art created on canvas. September 21, 2024. Afrika Abney “Enthusiasm in Color is beautifully captured in the lively shades of red-orange and pink. These colors are not just visually striking; they embody a sense of energy and excitement that can invigorate the spirit. The red-orange hue, in particular, is a powerful representation of passion and drive, igniting a spark of motivation that encourages individuals to pursue their creative endeavors with fervor. It serves as a reminder of the dynamic force that enthusiasm can bring into our lives, pushing us to take action and embrace new challenges.

ClearHonesty

    My journey into the world of consulting began during my high school years at Bell Multicultural High School, where I participated in the Congressional Art Competition between 1992 and 1993. At that time, I was just a teenager, navigating the complexities of adolescence while immersing myself in the vibrant world of art. This experience not only honed my artistic skills but also opened doors to new opportunities, allowing me to explore the intersection of creativity and professional development. Drawing from my formal education in the visual arts, I have developed a unique approach to consulting that emphasizes creativity and innovation. My background enables me to devise strategies that are not only effective but also visually compelling. For instance, I often use the color white in my presentations and materials, as it symbolizes purity and honesty. Ultimately, my experiences as a young artist have shaped my professional identity, driving me to create impactful and meanin...

2016 Color Chronicles

    2016 Color Chronicles. Digital art created on canvas. September 5, 2024. Afrika Abney The concept of the 2016 Color Chronicles introduces a narrative framework that emphasizes the importance of specific colors—namely blue, pink, and dark pink—in relation to the events of that year. This approach not only serves to illustrate the emotional landscape of 2016 but also invites a deeper exploration of how these colors can encapsulate personal experiences and collective sentiments. By focusing on these particular hues, the narrative seeks to convey a rich tapestry of feelings and memories that were prevalent during that time. Upon reflection, the colors that best represent the essence of 2016, a year that has since passed, are primarily blue and pink. These colors were deliberately selected for their emotional depth and their capacity to articulate the diverse experiences I navigated throughout that year. The choice of these specific shades is rooted in a profound connection to ...
