This is our first interview with Canadian-based illustrator designer, artist, and educator Maia Faddoul. Maia is an early-generation Canadian artist who works from her Montreal studio, where she produces vibrant and colourful illustrations for packaging publications, as well as other. Her style is high contrast, vibrant, and striking usually with a subtle message of social justice hidden in.

Maia is an avid color enthusiast and a bit of a maximalist in her artistic style. Maia uses her art as a way to express her beliefs, speak out on injustices, and bring awareness for causes that matter a lot to her. Be sure to check out her Instagram and also her Etsy store where she sells her fun flowers earrings. Come along as we dig deep into the thoughts and creativity process from Maia Faddoul.

 My drawing style as 'High Contrast'.

My style is bright, vibrant and high contrast and often has a subdued social justice message hidden somewhere. I am a total color-lover and kind of a minimalist when it comes to my style of art.

 What's the secret in creating your illustration?

A major aspect of my art is to create artwork that is reflective of my values and values. I'm not exactly the most vocal or extroverted person, so I tend to utilize my work as a way to express my opinions, voice out about injustices and spread awareness to causes that mean a significant amount to me.
