Illustrations with social messages - The CreativeMindClass Blog

Jan 20, 2023

Creative Mind: how the brain is functioning. From the creators of CreativeMindClass.

Welcome to our conversation with the illustrator from Canada artist, designer and educator Maia Faddoul. Maia is a very first-generation Canadian artist who works at her Montreal studio. Her work includes colorful and striking illustrations for packaging, publishing as well as other. Her style is high-contrast colorful, and striking often but with a subtle message about politics in the background.

Maia is a committed color enthusiast as well as somewhat of a Neo-maximalist in her artistic style. Maia uses her art as a means to voice her opinions, to speak up against injustices and raise awareness to causes which are important to her. Take a look at her Instagram and her Etsy shop which sells gorgeous floral earrings. We encourage you to go deep into the thoughts and processes of creative thinking from Maia Faddoul.

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

My style is bright, vibrant and high contrast often with a subtle social justice message hidden somewhere. I'm a total color enthusiast and also a bit of minimalist with regards to my aesthetic style.

What's the key to creating your illustration?

An important aspect that I am able to create is artwork that is reflective of my ideals and convictions. My personality isn't the most outgoing or socially active, so I prefer to use art for me to voice my opinion or express my thoughts about injustices and draw attention to causes that matter a much for me.
