The Story of the Creator: How the mind that is creative works. From the creators of CreativeMindClass.

Welcome to our interview with Canadian-based illustrator designer, artist, and instructor Maia Faddoul. Maia is a first-generation Canadian artist, who operates from her Montreal studio. She creates bright and colorful illustrations for editorials, packaging publication, and much more. Her style is high contrast, vibrant, and striking and often has a subdued social justice message hiding somewhere.

Maia is an absolute color lover and kind of a excessive person in her style of art. Maia uses her art as a way to express her beliefs, speak out on injustices, and bring consciousness to causes that matter a lot for her. Check out her online classes, Instagram and also her Etsy shop where she sells the most adorable floral earrings. We invite you to dive deeper into the brain and creative process that is Maia Faddoul.

 My drawing style as 'High Contrast'.

I see my style as high-contrast, colorful and bold and often has a subdued message of social justice hidden in the background. I'm a huge fan of color and also a kind of excessive person in my art style.

 What's the most important thing in creating your illustration?

An important aspect of my art is to create work that expresses my convictions as well as my values. My personality isn't the most outspoken or extrovert, therefore I tend to use my art as a means to voice my opinions, voice out about injustices and spread awareness of causes that matter a much to me.
