MARIA
ABBOUD
I'm an Interdisciplinary artist and self-taught graphic designer. I work with photography, videography, illustration and design.
Graphic design and art give me the opportunity to visualize ideas and concepts, that results in a liberating feeling which motivates me to create a limitless creative world of my own.
On the other hand, I face many challenges such as providing clients the results they are seeking, keeping myself updated on new trends and digging deeper for further knowledge in this field.
I get my inspirations from great Art Nouveau artist like Alphonse Mucha, Victor Horta and Antoni Gaudi for their use of nature in graphic and interior design. I'm also very interested in Arabic calligraphy and typography, I seek my learning and inspiration in Islamic art and architecture as well as traditional Arabic houses, tools, kitchenware and surroundings.
After four years of learning and being influenced by great professors and artists, practicing several mediums of design and art-making, and receiving constructive feedback, I'm ready to put my accumulated knowledge and experience into real-world practice.
