Pushing against
social convention, abstract artist LE BohemianMuse creates multifaceted
artworks which challenge her artistic impulses. Each artwork reflects a story
of defiance with a subtle vulnerability through the exposed layers and visible
stages of creation. As a self-proclaimed
colorist, BohemianMuse works against creative stagnation by placing a focus on
textural elements which act as a source of detail, energy, and complexity in
place of obvious colors.
“Through
abstract art, I move beyond simplicity, and I am open to the complex. Seeing
that life can, at moments, feel simple, but our emotions are more intricate.”
BohemianMuse is
a first-generation Ghanaian-American artist from the San Francisco Bay Area. To
explore the ideas of creating new worlds through storytelling, BohemianMuse
completed degrees in art and theater at both Loyola Marymount University and
the British American Drama Academy in Oxford, England.
“Art means
everything to me,” She continues, “It is everywhere. It’s a venue of creation.
We are beautiful examples of art just walking around. It showcases our beauties
and our faults, it provides us with an option to go to when we are in pain, and
it can glorify our greatest moment. I draw inspiration from other elements of
artistry (music, poetry, etc.) and through my observation of humanity and based
on what I feel, I create something from that.”
In addition to
being a featured artist in the SF Gate article “I’m Still Creating, I Won’t
Stop Creating’: Life as an SF Artist in Shutdown”, she was also featured in
Shoutout LA Magazine April 2021 issue.
