Shadowed Ruby





Shadowed Ruby. Digital art created on canvas. 2022. Afrika Abney


Shadowed Ruby is a captivating artwork that draws the viewer into a world of mystery and allure. The painting features a striking red background, which serves as a vibrant canvas that evokes feelings of passion and intensity. This bold choice of color not only captures attention but also creates a dramatic contrast with the central figure.


The red background can be interpreted as a symbol of warmth and energy. Shadowed Ruby is not merely a painting; it is an invitation to delve into the complexities of emotion and perception.


“Colors can evoke different emotions and perceptions. Emotions and perception are intertwined and can impact how we perceive the world and make decisions. In the workplace, emotions and perceptions play a significant role, affecting employee perception, self-perception, social perception, and emotional culture. Positive emotions can boost productivity, creativity, and relationships, while negative emotions can hinder job performance. Employee perceptions can impact company success, influencing relationships and collaboration. It's important for organizations to be proactive in managing emotions and perceptions to foster a positive work environment.”

How I find work with a diverse background?

  " With a retainer, clients pay a set amount each month in exchange for using your services as needed—perhaps for a set number of hours—rather than signing a contract for one specific project.

Surrounded by the familiar comforts of my environment, I immerse myself in the creative process, allowing the world outside to influence my work.

    “In 1992, the job market in Washington, D.C. presented a complex landscape for African Americans, marked by both progress and persistent challenges. While the city's burgeoning government sector offered some opportunities, particularly in fields like social services and education, racial disparities remained deeply entrenched.

However, the growing civil rights movement and increasing awareness of racial inequality fostered a climate of activism and advocacy, pushing for greater diversity and inclusion in the workplace. This period saw the rise of organizations and initiatives aimed at addressing these disparities, paving the w...
