Art isn’t just about creating—it’s about being seen, being felt, and being heard. For SMBDYtheartist, a 23-year-old painter from Mobile, Alabama, art is a deeply personal journey, one that is both introspective and unapologetically bold.
Gravitating toward surrealism, her work is a fusion of oil, acrylic, and gouache, crafted to reflect her Afrocentric background and personal experiences. Her pieces are more than just visual narratives—they are a statement, a conversation, and an exploration of identity and existence.
The Power of Vulnerability in Art
Stepping into the art world isn’t easy. Sharing your work—revealing your core to the world—is a daunting task, but as she puts it, “do it scared.” That philosophy has driven her to push past fear, embracing the idea that art is meant to be experienced, valued, and shared in the right spaces.
And Art Party X is exactly that space.
Making Space, Making a Statement
SMBDYtheartist’s name holds a powerful message: “I am somebody, regardless of my attributes or accolades.” Through her work, she aims to pass that same energy on to her audience—art is about presence, not just prestige.
Though the journey of carving out a place in the art world is still unfolding, Art Party X is the next step in making that vision a reality. This March 22, 2025, she will bring her surreal, Afrocentric storytelling to the world-famous Art Party X, adding another powerful voice to the movement.
