Today's Inspiration



My days have been filled with a blend of research and creativity, as I immerse myself in the soothing melodies of the birds chirping just outside my window. This natural symphony serves as a backdrop to my digital art projects, where I channel my inspiration into vibrant creations that reflect both my inner thoughts and the beauty of the world around me. Each stroke and pixel is a testament to my dedication, as I strive to capture the essence of my surroundings while exploring new artistic techniques.


Recently, I have also ventured into the realm of event services, where I leverage my skills as a consultant to offer valuable insights and support. This new endeavor allows me to connect with clients and help them bring their visions to life, whether it’s through strategic planning or creative direction. The excitement of collaborating with others and contributing to memorable experiences adds a dynamic layer to my work, making each project unique and fulfilling.


Balancing my research, artistic pursuits, and consulting work has become a harmonious routine that fuels my passion. The interplay between the tranquil sounds of nature and the vibrant energy of event planning creates a rich tapestry of experiences that I cherish.


Radiant Yellow Canvas. Digital art created on canvas. August 12, 2024. Afrika Abney


The artwork titled Radiant Yellow Canvas is a vibrant abstract digital painting that draws its essence from the interplay of yellow and white hues. This piece was inspired by the soothing sounds of nature that drift through my window, creating a serene backdrop for creativity. The gentle rustling of leaves, the distant chirping of birds, and the soft whispers of the wind all contributed to the emotional palette of this artwork, allowing me to translate those auditory experiences into visual form.


In crafting Radiant Yellow Canvas, I sought to encapsulate the uplifting energy that nature provides, particularly through the vibrant colors of yellow and the purity of white. These colors not only evoke feelings of warmth and joy but also symbolize clarity and inspiration. The process was further enriched by various thought-provoking quotes I encountered online, which served as a catalyst for my artistic expression. Each brushstroke reflects a moment of contemplation, merging the beauty of the natural world with the wisdom gleaned from literature.


The result is a piece that resonates with positivity and creativity, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in its luminous glow. Radiant Yellow Canvas stands as a testament to the power of inspiration drawn from both the environment and the written word.

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.”

Thanksgiving

   “Best of all is it to preserve everything in a pure, still heart, and let there be for every pulse a thanksgiving, and for every breath a song.”- Konrad von Gesner  Thanksgiving. Digital art created on canvas. November 28, 2024. Afrika Abney  Thanksgiving has been tough for me since I was a student between losing loved ones, facing traumatic experiences, and overcoming racism and discrimination.  “Thanksgiving in Washington, D.C. during the 1970s was a unique blend of tradition and the evolving cultural landscape of the era. The nation’s capital, known for its rich history and political significance, became a focal point for various Thanksgiving celebrations that reflected both the solemnity of the holiday and the vibrancy of the 1970s. As the decade progressed, Thanksgiving in Washington, D.C. began to reflect broader societal changes, including the growing awareness of social issues and the push for civil rights. The holiday served as a reminder of the impo...

Passionate Transparency

  Passionate Transparency. Digital art created on canvas. December 5, 2024. Afrika Abney  Love does not yell, envy, betray, hold grudges, and manipulate. Love is a spectrum of colors, beauty, elegance, sophistication, devotion, commitment, respect, honesty, and sacredness. Love is fulfilling hopes, wishes, desires and demonstrating intense passion. Love is me who does not believe in true love, soulmates, and perfection. I believe love is encompassed with authenticity, grand gestures, trust, respect, and transparency from a single straight man over the age of 30 who has not forgotten their home training.
