Digital art




“Digital art has a smaller environmental footprint compared to traditional art mediums, as it eliminates the need for physical materials such as paper, canvas, and paint. By embracing digital tools, artists can contribute to a more sustainable and eco-friendly creative ecosystem. It encompasses so many different avenues, it can be hard to break the definition down into something simple, but for our purposes, the definition of digital art is: Art made using or facilitated by software, computers, or other electronic devices. Digital art has enabled artists to unearth their creativity further. Artists can advance their work and improve their talent through new materials, mediums and techniques. Digital art has expanded the possibilities through augmented reality exhibitions and virtual reality installations, among other avenues.”


I have created numerous digital abstract paintings on canvas. I frequently use my digital abstract paintings for self promotional purposes. In 1980, I was 4 years old and did not start creating digital art until years later.


Some of my latest digital art revolves around personality traits, personal and professional experiences and achievements.







Digital art created on canvas. August 2, 2024. Afrika Abney


The dynamic composition of this piece is characterized by its rich layers of color, where the bold reds and blues are harmoniously complemented by subtle hints of purple. This thoughtful blending not only enhances the visual appeal but also adds a tactile quality that draws the eye and encourages contemplation. Each brushstroke is meticulously crafted, creating a rhythm that flows throughout the canvas, suggesting movement and energy.



This digital painting exemplifies the advantages of modern artistic techniques, showcasing how digital art can expand the boundaries of creativity. The convenience and flexibility of digital tools empower artists to experiment with various styles and effects, resulting in a piece that is both innovative and captivating. This artwork not only serves as a visual feast but also as a testament to the evolving landscape of art in the digital age.



“Digital painting offers a broader range of creative possibilities compared to traditional methods. It's more convenient and flexible and offers a variety of tools that allow artists to experiment and create without the constraints of physical materials.”



“With digital art in the workplace you can create surroundings that help sharpen cognitive skills and enhance concentration and productivity throughout the workday. With new visual stimuli you and your team can create pleasant surroundings every day to boost positive thinking, build trust and enhance morale.”

Why I do not like the 4th of July!

I do not like the 4th of July because so many lives have been lost. So many people alarmed by the alarming loud sounds of Fireworks. So many people have been hurt simply by Fireworks. As for myself, year after year, I have become traumatized by Fireworks for various reasons. Yet, some people wonder why as a Black American, I do not like the 4th of July.  I do not like the 4th of July because there really is not anything to celebrate. Racism, corruption, brutality, hatred, discrimination and prejudice floods the streets and destroys society. You spend money on Fireworks to wish America, Happy Independence Day, and Birthday. Really? Is America really happy? The colors red, white, and blue are supposed to have a significant symbolization. Yet, to me, it symbolizes blood, disassociation, and anger.  “You have to find what sparks a light in you so that you in your own way can illuminate the world.”- Oprah Winfrey "Celebrate the little things." – Author Unknown   "Our fl...
