Personality Palette

Personality Palette. Personality Palette. Digital art created on canvas. August 15, 2024. Afrika Abney

In my digital artwork, I incorporated the vibrant hue of orange, a color that embodies a multitude of personality traits. Among these traits, I find that I resonate with being generous, optimistic, and creative. The choice of orange in my creations is not merely aesthetic; it reflects my own character and outlook on life. This bold color choice serves as a visual representation of my inner self, showcasing the warmth and enthusiasm I bring to my artistic endeavors.

When I embrace the color orange, I make it clear that I prefer direct communication. I do not engage in passive listening or eavesdropping on conversations around me. If someone wishes to connect or share their thoughts, I encourage them to reach out to me directly. This approach not only fosters clarity in communication but also allows me to focus on my own projects and passions without distraction. I believe that meaningful interactions stem from direct engagement rather than indirect exchanges.

My commitment to the color orange also signifies my dedication to pursuing my own path. I am not particularly interested in the activities or conversations of others, as my focus remains firmly on my own journey. By minding my own business and immersing myself in my creative process, I cultivate an environment where my ideas can flourish. This self-directed approach not only enhances my artistic expression but also reinforces my belief in the importance of individuality as I am an African - American female.
