Transformation of blank digital canvases



This white paper texture background is the perfect canvas for creating beautiful abstract digital paintings. The texture of the paper provides a unique surface for applying paint, allowing for a variety of techniques and styles to be explored. The blank digital canvas is carefully examined before any paint is applied, ensuring that the surface is smooth and ready.





The texture of the paper adds depth and dimension to the finished paintings, creating a tactile and visually engaging piece of art.









Before I created the digital art pieces entitled: Catalyst for social change, Connect and Thrive, Cultural Awareness and Educational Foundation, I examined the digital plain canvas before applying the colors chosen to create the digital abstract painting on canvas.





I create vivid canvases that serve as a powerful catalyst for social change. My vibrant colors evoke passion and calmness, sparking conversations and igniting action within communities. Through creative initiatives, workshops, and performances, I am committed to using art as a tool for empowerment, connecting with diverse audiences and inspiring positive transformation.





My artwork, like "Connect and Thrive," celebrates diversity, promotes inclusivity, and challenges societal norms. Through themes of growth, interconnectedness, and vitality, I strive to inspire others to embrace diversity and build meaningful connections. By promoting cultural awareness and unity in my paintings, I hope to create a more inclusive and empathetic world dedicated to sparking social change through vibrant canvases that foster empowerment and connection.





My educational background, shaped by experiences at NationHouse, Corcoran School of the Arts, and Bell Multicultural High School, has laid the foundation for my mastery of digital art techniques. Exhibiting in prestigious galleries in Washington, D.C and New York City, I showcase expertise in creating impactful visuals that resonate with viewers on a deep emotional level.





My artwork has been recognized for its thought-provoking themes and powerful messages challenging societal norms. By promoting cultural awareness and unity through my art, I aim to inspire others to embrace diversity and foster meaningful connections. The deeper meanings of tranquility, growth, and vitality in my paintings serve as a testament to my commitment to creating a more inclusive and empathetic world.

Multicultural literature

DC Color Narrative

  DC Color Narrative. Digital art created on canvas. September 16, 2024. Afrika Abney “The color palette of black, purple, and yellow serves as the foundation for my digital abstract artwork. My academic journey culminated in graduation in 1997, during which I explored a diverse array of subjects. Despite my extensive studies, digital art was not included in my curriculum. It wasn't until 2009 that I ventured into the realm of digital artistry. The colors I have selected for my artwork are not merely aesthetic choices; they are deeply intertwined with my identity. Growing up in Washington, DC during the 1970s has profoundly influenced my artistic expression. The vibrant hues of black, purple, and yellow resonate with my experiences and memories, encapsulating the essence of my upbringing in a culturally rich and dynamic environment. My journey into digital art has allowed me to channel my personal and professional history and cultural background into a visual form. The interplay of...
