Why You Don't Have to Pick Up a Paintbrush to Embrace Your Inner Artist 

Art is no longer limited to the elite few who possess the skills and resources to create masterpieces with a paintbrush. It has become an inclusive and diverse realm where anyone can embrace their inner artist, regardless of their ability to paint. So, if you've ever had an itch to let your creative side loose but worried about your skills, don't worry, we've got you covered. There are countless ways for you to explore and nurture your inner Picasso!

Art has evolved to encompass a vast array of mediums, techniques, and styles, allowing for a greater range of artistic expression. From abstract and impressionism to figurative and architectural, the possibilities are endless. And thanks to the internet and online platforms like Queenbaeleit.com, art from top emerging artists all over the world is now accessible to everyone.

Let's take a journey through some of the collections and discover how you can embrace your inner artist through various artistic genres.

Experiment With Abstract Art – Exploring Emotions and Intuition 

Abstract art challenges the boundaries of representation and allows for a more intuitive and emotional approach to artmaking. This freedom of expression is part of what makes this style so universally loved. Rather than alluding to a specific narrative, thoughts and feelings are explored through shape, color, line and form. We've all laid our eyes on a great abstract and wondered what the artist was thinking! This is what makes abstraction so incredible as it allows for personal interpretation, emotional resonance and a deep, unique connection. 

If you're particularly drawn to the expressive qualities of abstract art, you may also enjoy our collection of Abstract Expressionism. This genre combines abstract elements with hints of recognizable forms, creating a unique visual experience.

Abstract art invites you to explore your emotions, experiment with different materials, and let your imagination run wild. Who knows, you might uncover a hidden talent for creating abstract masterpieces.

Embracing the Feminine in Art and Iconic Imagery

Throughout history, women artists have rocked the art world with their incredible contributions. Their unique perspectives and experiences have not only shaped the artistic landscape and challenged societal norms, but have also served as a powerful tool for advocacy, sparking dialogue, and promoting equality.

Today more than ever, there’s a need to express equality and celebrate the power of the female. From action movies with female leads to corporate CEO’s and heads of government, female heroism abounds everywhere.        

Our Women Collection highlights the works of talented and investable female artists, giving voice to their creative expressions and uncompromising depiction of the female experience. But you don’t have to pick up a paintbrush to express your thoughts and feelings. As Frida Kahlo famously stated, “I am my own muse, I am the subject I know the best.”

Figurative Art: Capturing the Essence of the Human Form 

If you're intrigued by the human form and its endless possibilities for expression, Figurative art might be your calling. With a range of realistic portraits and abstract interpretations, figurative art retains strong references to reality and particularly with the human form - but with an artists' perspective on the subject. Figurative art is a great way to get familiar with experiments in color, style and mediums, centered around this universal theme of what it means to be human.                                                                                                                                                         

There are countless ways to explore this narrative; whether observing a sleeping form, using found images, sketching your local surroundings, looking at other artists' work, or even using your own body as a response to a deeply personal subject matter - No subject is off limits. 

Celebrating African Art and Figurative Expression 

African art is rich in history, culture, and symbolism. It offers a unique perspective on the world and captures the essence of African traditions and identity. Our African Collection showcases a stunning array of artworks that celebrate the beauty and diversity of African culture.

African art can serve as a connection to ones’ ancestry and heritage. But you don’t have to draw or paint to gain a deeper understanding of your roots. You can use masks, clay, sculpture, wood, and jewelry to create your own vehicle to cope, express and connect with your authentic self.

Nature and Botanical Art: Finding Inspiration in the Natural World

The natural world is a never-ending source of inspiration for artists and non-artists alike. If you feel a deep connection to nature and its beauty, exploring nature and botanical art can be a way to embrace your inner artist. You don’t need to battle the crowds at Yosemite or hire a tour guide to take you to remote wonderlands to experience transcendent natural beauty.

In our Nature collection, you'll be transported to lush gardens, vibrant flower fields, and peaceful landscapes. Let the intricate details of leaves, petals, soaring trees and majestic mountains inspire you to create your own botanical art through photography, collage, or even digital art.

Even better, air is still free and you can literally find something spectacular in nature in your own backyard or local park.    

Urban Art: Connect the Beauty with the Chaos 

If you find inspiration in the energy and diversity of the urban environment, this is for you. Urban art adds character, diversion, and introspection to our daily routines. Urban art speaks to identity and makes our day more colorful, more fun, and more interesting.

Not that long ago, graffiti, for example, was considered simply an eyesore and blight on big city structures. Now, it’s a canvas for urban artists to share stories and memories, and express political and social needs. Plus, it’s flat-out amazingly creative and colorful!

Whether you’re into street inspired paintings or edgy, upcycled jackets that tell a story - this Urban Inspired collection is for you. But you don't need to create a mural, airbrush a jacket or even put up a poster to connect to this movement! Try photographing your favorite street art, blogging about your favorite pieces and collecting from your favorite artists! 

Make It Personal

In addition to exploring different mediums, you can also choose artworks that speak to your interests and passions. Are you a fan of horses? Our Equine Collection showcases the grace and beauty of these majestic creatures. Do you have a love for still life? Our Still Life Collection transforms ordinary items into captivating and thought-provoking compositions. If you're drawn to iconic imagery and cultural icons, our Icon Collection is a treasure trove of inspiration.
