Pure Dialogue

I have no idea what is going on unless you have picked up the phone and me directly. I do not believe in gossiping and spreading lies. I only am aware of what I am solely doing. Have a safe day

I create Pure Dialogue using technology and my own creativity.

Abstract realm

“The abstract realm is a domain of ideas that exist beyond the physical world and are considered to be non-spatial. Abstract concepts are essential elements of human cognition that shape our perceptions, decisions, and interactions. They are the building blocks of higher-order thinking, allowing us to grasp complex ideas, engage in symbolic reasoning, and formulate theories. Abstract concepts are also the essence of human creativity, fueling our ability to imagine, invent, and innovate.” I utilize various digital applications to produce my artwork, which I then showcase through blog posts. This approach not only allows me to express my creativity but also serves as a strategic method for branding and self-promotion in my role as a consultant. By sharing my digital creations online, I can engage with a wider audience and establish a recognizable presence in the digital art community. Through the use of advanced digital tools, I am able to craft unique pieces of digital art that reflect ...

Harmony in Hue

Harmony in Hue. Digital art created on canvas. October 5, 2024. Afrika Abney According to my research, “the concept of harmony in hue plays a crucial role in the field of digital art, particularly when it comes to the interplay of various shades of orange. This color, often associated with warmth and vibrancy, can evoke a range of emotions and responses from viewers. In digital compositions, the careful selection and arrangement of orange tones can create a cohesive visual experience that draws the audience in, allowing them to appreciate the subtleties and nuances of the artwork. Furthermore, in digital compositions, achieving harmony in hue is not merely about aesthetic appeal; it also involves a deeper understanding of color theory and its psychological effects. The strategic use of orange shades can influence the viewer's perception and interpretation of the artwork, creating a dialogue between the piece and its audience.”

Digital art applications

“Digital art has a smaller environmental footprint compared to traditional art mediums, as it eliminates the need for physical materials such as paper, canvas, and paint. By embracing digital tools, artists can contribute to a more sustainable and eco-friendly creative ecosystem. It encompasses so many different avenues, it can be hard to break the definition down into something simple, but for our purposes, the definition of digital art is: Art made using or facilitated by software, computers, or other electronic devices. Digital art has enabled artists to unearth their creativity further. Artists can advance their work and improve their talent through new materials, mediums and techniques. Digital art has expanded the possibilities through augmented reality exhibitions and virtual reality installations, among other avenues.” Over the years, I have produced a significant collection of digital abstract paintings on canvas, showcasing my artistic evolution and creativity. These works s...

Dishonesty

I would appreciate it if you would refrain from claiming that you don't recognize my identity. The fact is, if you engaged in my services at any point between the 1980s and 2019, you are fully aware of who I am. It is disingenuous to pretend otherwise, and I would prefer a more honest dialogue moving forward. It’s important to acknowledge that your assertions about my identity are misleading. If you have employed my services from the 1980s through 2019, you undoubtedly know who I am. I urge you to stop this pretense and engage with me in a truthful manner, as it undermines our professional relationship. I find it necessary to address the ongoing misrepresentation of my identity. If you have hired me for any services between the 1980s and 2019, you cannot genuinely claim ignorance about who I am. Let’s move past this dishonesty and focus on a more transparent and respectful interaction.
