We are pleased to present our interview with Canadian-based illustrator designer, artist, and educator Maia Faddoul. Maia is an early-generation Canadian artist who is based in her Montreal studio, where she creates bright and colorful illustrations for packaging, editorials publications, as well as other. Her style is high-contrast, colorful, and bold and often has a subdued political message hidden somewhere.

Maia is a total color-lover and a bit of a maximalist when it comes to her art style. Maia utilizes her work as a means to show her opinions, voice out against injustice and raise awareness to causes that mean so much for her. Make sure you check out her online courses, Instagram and also her Etsy shop where she sells the most adorable floral earrings. We invite you to dive deep into the thoughts and creativity process of Maia Faddoul.

 I think of my drawing style as "High Contrast'.

My style is bright, vibrant and high contrast and often has a subdued social justice message hiding somewhere. I'm an absolute color lover and also a kind of maximalist when it comes to my art style.

 What's the most important thing for creating illustrations?

A major aspect of my practice is making work that expresses my convictions and beliefs. I'm not the most outspoken or extrovert, therefore I tend to utilize my work as a way to express my views, express my opinion, talk on injustices, and bring attention to causes that mean a lot to me.
