Devotion Dynamics

 



Devotion Dynamics. Digital art created on canvas. December 26, 2024. Afrika Abney 


With movies like Swing and Acquainted which highlights topics about cheating, lack of respect, trust and commitment in romantic and personal relationships. Long term relationships are about trust, respect, faith, devotion, and commitment. I do not believe in cheating in relationships. It is wrong and shows fear of commitment, trust and respect. 


If you ask me to leave in any relationship, I will never return back and it will be hard for me to regain my trust and open up. Since I was a student from the late 1970s - 1997, holidays have always been difficult for me. Even after I completed my education as a student, the holidays still remained difficult.


I am not looking at movies on television for inspiration. I am watching movies because many people refuse to seek my services even though in every professional encounter, I have shown respect, commitment and dedication towards my former clients.

Creative Integrity

  Creative Integrity. Digital art created on canvas. October 3, 2024. Afrika Abney  According to my research, “shades of blue have many symbols. Light blue instills principles such as tranquility and understanding, both are crucial in the creation of art. Whereas, medium blue instills principles such as trust, creativity, calm and importance. Each of these aspects are significant in understanding the elements for creativity and the ability to trust that the final product will lead to successful results. Lastly, dark blue instills integrity which lies in the concept of doing the right thing.” I chose shades of blue to create my digital abstract painting because of the symbolism and the harmony between each shade. Creative Integrity depicts the importance of ensuring that I have presented the right message behind my digital abstract painting using a comprehensive creative process and method.

How I find work with a diverse background?

Sphere of Brushstrokes

  Sphere of Brushstrokes. Digital art created on canvas. October 30, 2024. Afrika Abney  I have no clue what you are discussing. What I do know is that in 1985, I was a student at NationHouse and I do not have anything to be ashamed about. Nor do I have regrets. This is what happens when you do not ask questions when you see me. It is no longer the past. It is almost November 2024. 

Rain Tones

Rain Tones. Digital art created on canvas. September 16, 2024. Afrika Abney “The colors of rain, while often perceived as simply colorless, actually encompass a spectrum of grays, from the palest dove gray to a steely, almost charcoal hue. This subtle palette is dictated by the light interacting with the water droplets and the surrounding atmosphere. And speaking of rain, the forecast for this week is decidedly wet. Painting the landscape in shades of gray, from the soft mist of a drizzle to the heavier, more dramatic washes of a downpour. It's a reminder that even in the absence of vibrant hues, there's an inherent beauty in the simplicity of rain's muted tones.”
