FvF Interview from Beirut, Lebanon: Maria Kassab 

“I’m concerned a lot with injustice and oppression. There’s a lack of freedom of speech, freedom of opinion even in the art field. Recently a friend of mine, who is an artist, did a graffiti on a wall in Beirut and had to go on trial. This is what I’m trying to portray.” 

The young designer, Maria Kassab incorporates important political messages in her surrealistic art pieces, bringing forth an original view and beauty. To look at the full story, visit our site.
