"The emotions are sometimes so strong that I work without knowing it. The strokes come like speech."-Vincent Van Gogh
"Why do two colors, put one next to the other, sing? Can one really explain this? No. Just as one can never learn how to paint."-Pablo Picasso
Two Colors. Digital art created on canvas. Afrika Abney
When two colors come together, they are called complementary colors. In the digital art piece that I created entitled: Two Colors, I chose white and black. I chose them because they skin tone colors and for some reason the two colors for many years have not worked together. Failing to remember that there is only one human race, these two particular colors have been at war for years. Setting aside differences and objectives, they continue to discriminate and pass unnecessary judgement. Yet, when white and black blended together in the right shade creates a beautiful gray painting.
I learned about colors and how to paint many years ago for various art institutions. I only wish that I did not have to experience racism, prejudice, and discrimination.
