Creative Affinity

 



Creative Affinity. Digital art created on canvas. December 30, 2024. Afrika Abney 


I have the innate ability to use my creativity to produce intricate and expressive abstract traditional and digital paintings and collages. I have the drive and passion to portray my romantic traits in my long term committed relationships with men in personal settings. In my professional settings, I have exhibited my natural born leadership skills. Each of these are portrayed through the color symbolism in my abstract digital painting. 


Red represents passion and devotion. Shades of gold and orange represent creativity. Blue represents innovative thinking. While,purple represents spirituality.

Narrative Layers

    Narrative Layers. Digital art created on canvas. October 2, 2024. Afrika Abney  I created Narrative Layers, a digital abstract painting, using layered brushstrokes and vibrant colors with the focal color - red. Red represents determination, courage, resilience, and creativity.  According to my research, “layered brushstrokes serve as a powerful representation of the different phases of artistic expression and emotional depth. Each stroke adds a unique texture and dimension, reflecting my evolving thoughts and feelings throughout the creative process. This technique not only enhances the visual appeal of the piece but also invites viewers to engage with the underlying story that unfolds within the layers.  Ultimately, the culmination of these layered brushstrokes results in a finished piece that resonates with a profound narrative.”

Skyward Harmony

Skyward Harmony. Digital art created on canvas. August 15, 2024. Afrika Abney Looking out from my window, I was greeted by clouds drifting lazily across the sky, while a solitary bird soared gracefully above. The scene sparked a wave of inspiration within me, prompting me to reach for my digital palette. I carefully chose a variety of blue hues, blending them with soft whites to capture the essence of the sky and the fleeting beauty of the bird in flight. With each stroke of my virtual brush, I began to translate the atmospheric beauty before me onto my digital canvas. The cool blues danced harmoniously with the gentle whites, creating a sense of depth and movement that mirrored the clouds and the bird's elegant trajectory.

Echoes of Affection

  Echoes of Affection. Digital art created on canvas. December 29, 2024. Afrika Abney  “Long nights, short mornings (2016 television movie) is about an examination of the romantic life of a young man in New York City and his sometimes fleeting, sometimes profound experiences with the women he encounters.” I visited New York City from 1992 - 1993 and was a high school student at that time. Yesterday, I watched this movie and am not an advocate of open relationships. I believe in long term commitment, respect, trust, honesty and candidness.  In 2016, I provided numerous services and have not provided any dance services since 2016. 

Brown Empowerment

    “Labor Day holds a significant place in the history and culture of African Americans, serving as a reminder of the ongoing struggle for labor rights and social justice. Originally established to honor the contributions of workers across the nation, this holiday also reflects the unique challenges faced by African Americans in the workforce. Historically, African Americans have encountered systemic barriers, including discrimination and unequal pay, which have shaped their experiences in the labor market. As a result, Labor Day not only celebrates the achievements of workers but also highlights the need for continued advocacy for equity and inclusion in employment. The observance of this day encourages reflection on the progress made and the work that remains to ensure that all individuals, regardless of race, can enjoy fair labor practices and opportunities for advancement.” As an African - American since I was a high school student in 1991, I have experienced racism and d...

Unboxed Potential

  Unboxed Potential. Digital art created on canvas. November 28, 2024. Afrika Abney Fitting into society itself is discrimination. Automatically placing a label onto a person stating that they do not fit into society or into your little box. This is how many people lose people and how many people lose interest.  I was not born to fit into your little box of rules and standards. I was born to make a difference in people’s lives. I have achieved that mission numerous times since 1989. Because you believe that I do not fit into your little box does not become my problem, it becomes yours. You have missed out on the opportunity to know what creates me.

Afrika Abney  ​ Summer Blossoms, abstract finger painting created on canvas using colors that represent the Summer. ​ I recently had one of my abstract paintings featured on the cover of a book and the painting is entitled: Summer Blossoms. It is entitled: Kaleidoscope. For more information about the book, contact Esther Productions, Inc at estherproductionsinc@gmail.com.    In 2022, I have implemented over 30 new strategies. As a consultant, I would say that I have received numerous feedback on my effective strategies. Each strategy was uniquely different for each event that I provided and offered services. During the pandemic which began on March 9, 2020, I provided and offered all of my services online. I had to ensure that each service that I provided was effective and successful. This was challenging fo...

Holiday Hopes

  Holiday Hopes. Digital art created on canvas. November 25, 2024. Afrika Abney What I want during the holiday season is for racism and discrimination to end. I want to make lots of money. I want people to purchase my abstract paintings and collages. I want honest and genuine relationships. Most of all, I want people to stop making rude and insensitive comments.  Men who do not value nor respect women and call them out their names should stop and ask themselves who raised them? Women come in all shapes and sizes. No, I am not interested in women and never will be interested in developing relationships with women. Yes, I have had the opportunity to work with many men and women in the past as my career began while I was a student.
