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.

Christmas loyalty

Quote found on the Internet “Christmas loyalty embodies a profound dedication to valuing interpersonal connections and the shared moments that define them. This commitment not only enriches the holiday experience but also ensures that the memories created during this time continue to resonate throughout the year. By focusing on the relationships that matter most, individuals can cultivate a lasting legacy of love and togetherness that transcends the holiday season.”

Festive Tapestry

Afrika Abney “ The term "Festive Tapestry" evokes a rich and vibrant image, suggesting a woven fabric that embodies the spirit of celebration and joy. This concept can be interpreted as a metaphor for the intricate and colorful experiences that come together during festive occasions. Each thread in the tapestry represents a unique element of the celebration, whether it be the traditions, the people involved, or the emotions shared, all contributing to a larger narrative of communal joy and togetherness.”

Influences and inspirations

Abstract Symphony. Digital art created on canvas. August 8, 2024. Afrika Abney Abstract Symphony - This name implies a composition of colors and forms that come together to create a visual symphony, reflecting the influential inspirations behind the artwork. The influences behind "Abstract Symphony" are firmly rooted in modern abstract expressionism, a movement that emphasizes the expression of emotions and ideas through non-representational forms.

Simple White

The necessity for acquiring whiteboards has diminished for me, as I ceased offering educational services back in 2018. Since that time, my focus has shifted entirely. I have been working on my branding and digital art where I utilize various digital applications to express my creativity. In this context, the color white serves a significant purpose, often representing simplicity and clarity in my artistic endeavors. “The concept of Simple White embodies the essence of minimalism, where the purity of the color white acts as an open canvas for creativity and innovation, allowing ideas to flourish without the distractions of complexity. The color white encourages a harmonious balance between creativity and tranquility.”

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.
