Isn’t it funny how these pages are always written in the third person? The utmost cringe if you ask me, which no one did but I just re-read what I had on here previously and it was criminal.

This is my website. I’m Madu The Arts Muse. I’m the artist and the seller and the one-woman show that makes art for a living. It’s a point I think is important. I’m an independent artist and the clients collecting my work have bought directly from me. No middlemen, no bureaucracy, no boss. I work mainly from all over around the world and my studio is set up in Cádiz, Spain.

I have been making art in this current iteration for around eight years. But kinda always. What started in high school moved to advertising illustration portraits throughout my university degree while studying Communications with Major in Advertising and Arts in Saint Louis University. I then moved to Barcelona , fell in love with it deeply while working for Advertising, fell out of love by stress working for the Wellness Industry for some good years travelling the globe and fell back in love with my art selling illustrated books and collages for enough money to buy drinks with. I’ve since been banished from the big corporations—you can read more in venusandbali.com —and live in an infuriatingly beautiful spot near the beach back down under. 

I write, but primarily I photograph life and energetic dynamics. I´m obsessed with collages as much as I am with music on subject matters that change with the winds I’m pulled by. But almost always, my artworks look like the photographs I have taken. Thats the idea, that’s the skill set. I sell the originals through my email client list. If you’re interested, please sign up. Most often, I then sell limited edition prints of those originals on my site. With each drop, I’m figuring out the quantities. Sometimes they sell out quick. If you’re interested, I would recommend being online as they drop.

It’s nothing but joy creating art and selling directly to the people it connects with. I’m developing as I go. It’s a ‘done is better than perfect’ mentality, and I’m happy to share the process. I guess I want this page to say is that you’re working directly with the source, and art is mostly a mess. My work doesn’t look it, but up close, you can see it’s done by hand. You can see my fingers touched the white of the paper and the keys as I type responses to each message I receive. 

Thanks for being a supporter, and if you’re not, I’ll hook you in shortly.
