abstract art by Diana Afandi

 

 

 

I love how this this two canvases turned out.
I am having my first USA art show at the Avondale park in the next two weeks, 12th October 2013.
My very first shows after graduating from the Fashion and Design college were held in Mombasa Kenya five star hotels along the Diani beach in the south coast thanks to Dixie and John my Kenyan artist friends now exhibit in Europe. I just communicated with John who is exhibiting his silk paintings in Denmark this month.
While exhibiting my work in Mombasa Diani beach, I met a German couple who loved my style so much ,bought it in a span of 5 years before the wife died.
Wonder what the south of USA has in store for me.

stencil incorporated into art paintings

my latest painting are layered canvases of 16x20 and 8 x10 inches. The background canvas is the one I decided to stencil and paint on the one on the foreground. Trying something different. I swapped the elephant canvas with a floral one because the background color on the canvas was a trial piece.

I added some elements to a previous painting; I love the result.

both of the above and below canvases are 24''x36'', acrylic on canvas.
I hope I get a gallery to work with so that I don't have to worry about the internet marketing aspect of this journey that am on. My nursing school prerequisites are all done but my heart is entirely on art. Once am through with the target I' had set to accomplish ,its going to be decision time all over again.

SEMI ABSTRACT PORTRAIT ART

I've been working on this canvas for the last two and a half weeks, its 72 x 48 inches; the biggest I have ever painted. I am in need of a website now that am more confident with the work am producing, if there is anyone interested in the barter trade of website making and art contact me at fidy84@yahoo.com. I am ready to pay cash if one is not interested in art if the charge is affordable.

Now that I' ve passed my math 100, I am glad that I can concentrate on art this summer before taking my teas test. One of my painting got featured on acumen artists group, it was discovered on etsy by an art blog writer who specialises in featuring international artists ; Acumenartistgroup.blogspot.com is the web url.
Below are recent paintings that need final touches

modern landscape painting

I just completed painting this canvas which I previously had a different vision for.In the next two weeks there will not be any posting because I have concentrated more on the creative than the math which I need to catch up with before the finals; Honestly writing, I 'd rather be painting than finding the value of X. The explanation as to why is a long story ; in the long story

art will always be made.
The landscape paintings are quite a breeze to manipulate into ideas; I am going to try some more of this while sticking to my original plan.

I feel good due to tha fact that I just completed 5 paintings that I had put on the back burner. As I journey through my creativity, new happy accidents with colour and backgrounds are happening that are driving me to new heights.Sorry in advance for not cropping or editing the paintings I am posting ,as I am working on my midterms.
I intend on doing 6 navy paintings with white women, 6 with black women on golden backgrounds, so help me God.
