ARTIST ALERT: MAXIME STEIN


Toronto based OCAD student Maxime Stein is as talented as she is beautiful. Her artistic range seems endless as her attention to detail is sharp with every painting.

"My paintings and drawings are usually a study of the human face, always unique," wrote Stein during an quick back and forth online. "Alot of the time it concentrates on the gaze, radiating not only from the eyes but also from the brow, the line of the nose, and the lips."

Basing her paintings around music, and fashion interests, she also enjoys incorporating parts of her personal life.

"[It's a] whole panorama of music and fashion mixed in with nostalgic memories of people who have come in and out of my life," she wrote.

Also often inspired by fashion editorials, Stein tries to make it work in her own sense of reality. Even though she is already selling her paintings at a relativity quick rate - the soon-to-be graduate hopes to draw interest from the art world so she may turn her artistic plans, and ambition into a viable career.

I have no doubt.
