  Blossoming. 9 * 12. Acrylic on Canvas board April 6, 2023.  Afrika Abney




Girls and women are blossoming in all shapes and forms through all of the abuse, stereotypes,
pain, suffering and violence. It is unfortunate that society has become blind sided.

Swirling strokes of blue dominate the scene, interspersed with occasional bright splashes of yellow and red. The colors merge and flow together, creating a sense of dynamic movement and energy.

Oftentimes people 's nature when experiencing grief can be examined in the usage of the color blue drawn from a place of rebirth and elegance.

In nature elements become dried out and the climate becomes humid lacking the supplies of water, shelter and nourishment



Dark Beginnings. Acrylic on canvas. 9 * 12. Afrika Abney. April 6, 2023

Without understanding identity, culture, society, humanity and ethics there is bound to be darkness, yet the colors yellow, red and white represents that there is some hope within the darkness of birth.



Flower Footprints. Acrylic on canvas. 9 * 12. Afrika Abney. April 6, 2023


Walking through various gardens and parks, there are trails of footprints left between the flowers. Different shades of green with hints of yellow depicts outlines of footprints hidden.
