Spectrum of Self





Spectrum of Self. Digital art created on canvas. August 15, 2024. Afrika Abney


In the process of crafting my abstract digital painting, I dedicated considerable thought to the palette I would employ. The selection of colors became a pivotal aspect of my artistic vision, as I aimed to evoke specific emotions and reactions through my work. I chose a vibrant spectrum that includes shades of blue, red, yellow, purple, and green, each hue carefully considered for its potential to contribute to the overall composition and narrative of the piece.


I strive to infuse my creations with a sense of individuality and creativity, allowing my personality to shine through every brushstroke and digital manipulation. As an independent contractor, I relish the freedom to explore my artistic instincts without constraints, which fuels my desire to experiment with various techniques and styles in the realm of digital art.




With expertise in various techniques, materials, and media, including acrylic paint, I bring a unique perspective to every project. My strong understanding of the properties of acrylics allows me to create intricate layers and complete projects rapidly, while still maintaining a high level of quality.




My skill set includes working with acrylic and oil paint, digital art, oil pastels, crayons, charcoal, colored pencils, canvas, and paper. I have experience in creating abstract digital paintings, abstract paintings, collages, illustrations, graphic design, greeting cards, photography, and providing services as a consultant.




I have honed my craft through training at Capitol Hills Art Workshop, Bell Multicultural High School, Corcoran School of the Arts, and other prestigious institutions. My accomplishments speak for themselves, with a portfolio that showcases my versatility and creativity in every piece.

Yellow Harmony Tambourine

  Yellow Harmony Tambourine. Digital art created on August 13, 2024. Afrika Abney  Throughout my life, I have explored a diverse range of musical instruments, each offering its own unique sound and character. Among these, the tambourine holds a special place in my heart, with its vibrant jingles and rhythmic potential. Inspired by this beloved instrument, I embarked on a creative journey to translate its essence into the realm of visual art, resulting in an abstract digital painting that captures the spirit of the tambourine. The artwork, titled "Yellow Harmony Tambourine," is a vivid representation that intertwines the lively energy of the tambourine with a striking color palette of yellow and purple. These colors were deliberately chosen to evoke feelings of joy and creativity, reflecting the upbeat nature of the music produced by the tambourine. The abstract forms and dynamic composition within the painting aim to convey the rhythm and movement associated with playing this...

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.”
