My subject matter focuses on humans in both figure and portrait. Many of my paintings are based on the mundane moments within life; like sitting in the grass or sticking your head out of a window. My painting style transforms these mundane moments, conjuring a dream like quality. I embody a surrealist abstract approach, using unusual colors, brush strokes, and textures. I also embody surrealism by including jarring illogical subject matter in the background of many of my pieces. I only create one of each of my pieces and never produce or distribute copies of my work.\n<br><\/p>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e488f2f\" data-id=\"e488f2f\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cbc1430 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"cbc1430\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.13.3 - 28-05-2023 *\/\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}<\/style>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"894\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/mayssafakih.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-06-02-at-9.59.07-PM-1-894x1024.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-611\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mayssafakih.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-06-02-at-9.59.07-PM-1-894x1024.jpeg 894w, https:\/\/mayssafakih.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-06-02-at-9.59.07-PM-1-262x300.jpeg 262w, https:\/\/mayssafakih.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-06-02-at-9.59.07-PM-1-768x880.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/mayssafakih.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-06-02-at-9.59.07-PM-1-600x688.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/mayssafakih.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-06-02-at-9.59.07-PM-1.jpeg 897w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 894px) 100vw, 894px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-00c9361 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"00c9361\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ec3f400\" data-id=\"ec3f400\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-40dec00 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"40dec00\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"675\" height=\"737\" src=\"https:\/\/mayssafakih.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Group-1445.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-695\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mayssafakih.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Group-1445.png 675w, https:\/\/mayssafakih.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Group-1445-275x300.png 275w, https:\/\/mayssafakih.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Group-1445-600x655.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 675px) 100vw, 675px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-021e6f5\" data-id=\"021e6f5\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-acfd11d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"acfd11d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">My approach to art, my inspiration, and the way I address creativity is through my ability to revert into my childlike lens. This lens allows me to create from a place of intuitive expression. I\u2019ve  always been fascinated with lines, colors, and textures to illustrate feelings that go beyond words. <br><br><br>I\u2019ve showcased my work in both The Detroit Institute of Art and AA museum. More recently my art work has been shown in a exhibition in Washington D.C. and has also raised money for struggling children in Ghana. I was educated both in the United States and abroad. I hope to always create work that ignites curiosity and a sense of wonder through simply observing the beauty of humans in the form of texture, lines, and color. <\/p>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mayssa Fakih I create art that focuses on people.
