Curious eyes Painting

Mai Atassi Husseini I was born and raised in Homs, Syria, an ancient city, surrounded by huge cultured diversity. My parents and siblings were interested in arts of all forms, so I grew up in a home full of arts and music. Since childhood I had a profound interest in decoration and carried that to my adulthood. Color’s matching and arrangement brings warm feeling and comfort to me and transfer a humble place to a home . In the eighties I found myself in Chicago. A self-taught painter, never had the chance to go to school, it all started later in life, and what a wonderful journey has been. I never liked planned projects, I always loved spontaneity, and it showed in all my works I am interested in human emotions and experience, and that were I reach for ideas and subjects.
