MAY is a self-taught abstract painter, born in Belgium to French and Lebanese heritage, whose artistic journey reflects a profound commitment to authenticity and emotional expression. After pursuing a different professional path, she chose to dedicate herself entirely to her lifelong passion for painting, embracing art as both a vocation and a universal language.
Working intuitively, her practice is rooted in the expressive interplay of texture, movement, and color. Each composition is conceived as an immersive visual experience where layered surfaces and vibrant chromatic harmonies evoke emotions that transcend words. Rather than offering a fixed narrative, her paintings invite viewers into a deeply personal dialogue, allowing each individual to discover their own meaning through the lens of their experiences, memories, and emotions.
Her abstract works exist beyond representation, creating spaces where interpretation remains entirely free. Every encounter with a canvas becomes unique, shaped by the viewer's personal journey and the moment in life in which the work is experienced. In this intimate exchange between artwork and observer, emotions emerge naturally, often revealing unexpected connections.
While each interpretation differs, one element consistently unites those who encounter her work: the emotional resonance inspired by its presence. Through the expressive power of abstraction, MAY seeks not to depict reality, but to awaken feeling—creating paintings that continue to unfold long after the first glance.
