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.

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.”

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.

The exploration of human experiences within the context of abstract art

    Quote found on the Internet “The exploration of human experiences within the context of abstract art reveals a profound interplay between emotion and perception. Abstract art, characterized by its departure from representational forms, invites viewers to engage with their own feelings and interpretations. This genre transcends traditional boundaries, allowing individuals to connect with the artwork on a personal level, often evoking a range of responses that are deeply rooted in their own life experiences. The absence of recognizable subjects encourages a more introspective approach, prompting viewers to reflect on their emotions and thoughts as they navigate the vibrant colors, shapes, and textures presented before them.”

Artful Humanity

      Quote found on the Internet  According to my research, “National Arts and Humanities Month (NAHM) originated in 1985 as a celebration known as National Arts Week. This initiative was designed to promote the importance of the arts and humanities in American culture, encouraging communities to engage with and appreciate various forms of artistic expression. The establishment of this month-long observance has since evolved into a significant annual event that highlights the contributions of artists, writers, and cultural organizations across the nation. In the same year, 1985, a notable development in the realm of technology occurred with the release of a paint application.  Together, these developments reflect the dynamic relationship between the arts and the tools that facilitate their creation and dissemination.” In 1985, I was 9 years old and a student at NationHouse.

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.”

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
