Maya Madi

I am a self-taught Lebanese artist based in Dubai, working primarily with acrylic paint. My work is driven by color, texture, emotion, and the freedom to express what words cannot always say.

For me, painting is a way of translating feelings and memories into visual form. I am drawn to bold colors, layered surfaces, expressive marks, and unexpected combinations that create a sense of movement and energy. Rather than simply reproducing what I see, I paint what I feel.

My inspiration often comes from everyday life, memories, imagination, and the emotions beneath the surface. I am particularly interested in the relationship between color and emotion and in creating works that invite viewers to experience a feeling rather than search for a single meaning.

Living in Dubai, surrounded by a fast-moving and multicultural environment, continues to influence my artistic perspective. My practice is constantly evolving as I explore new subjects, textures, and ways of working.

I hope my paintings bring collectors a sense of joy, energy, warmth, and emotional connection, and that each work becomes something they continue to discover over time
