Illustrations with social messages - The CreativeMindClass Blog

Creative Mind: How the brain is working. From the creators of CreativeMindClass.

Welcome to our conversation with the illustrator from Canada designer, artist, and teacher Maia Faddoul. Maia is a first-generation Canadian artist who is based in her Montreal studio. There she draws vibrant and vivid illustrations for packaging, publishing, and more. Her style is high-contrast, vibrant, and striking usually with a subtle political message hidden somewhere.

Maia is an avid color enthusiast as well as a bit of a neo-maximalist when it comes to her artistic style. Maia utilizes her work as a way to express her convictions, to speak up against injustices and raise awareness to causes that mean a lot to her. Check out her Instagram and also her Etsy shop where she sells the most adorable floral earrings. We invite you to dive deep into the thoughts and process of creativity from Maia Faddoul.

 I see my drawing style as 'High Contrast'.

I see my style as high-contrast, colorful and bold usually with a subtle social justice message hidden somewhere. I'm an absolute color lover and also a bit of a minimalist when it comes to my artistic style.

 What's the secret in creating your illustration?

An important aspect of my work is creating artwork that is reflective of my values and beliefs. My personality isn't the most outgoing or outgoing person, and so I tend to make art as a vehicle to communicate my views, express my opinion, talk on injustices, and bring attention of causes that matter a much to me.

Maia uses the drawing tablet as well as Procreate for digital portraits. In her Drawing Expressive Portraits with Procreate course, she covers the process of creating colorful, vibrant and striking portraits.
