Hi, I'm Maalavidaa
That's my artist name, though feel free to call me Alycia ☺︎
I'm a French graphic designer and digital artist based in Montreal, and I've been on a quest to master the power of colors since 2016.
After graduating with a Master's Degree in Arts & Graphic Design, I created Maalavidaa as both a persona and a mindset that allows me to focus on putting mental health and wellness at the forefront of my practice, further defining myself as a designer of emotions.
My highly saturated abstract aesthetic is inspired by Jungian therapy, Color Therapy, and Meditation. Through my work, I aim to explore the complexity of emotions while promoting creative introspection as a path to increasing emotional intelligence and mental health sensitivity.
As your teacher in this class, I hope to convey my love for color so that you can harness its power and access new levels of self-discovery.
Color is more than what we see – It's what we feel, connect with, and use to transform our lives.
Whether you're a creative professional, an educator, or someone looking to unlock the hidden power of color, this course will inspire you to see the world in a whole new light. Explore how colors influence emotions, foster harmony, and spark imagination while learning techniques to apply these insights to your art, design, and daily life.
My vision of art
and creativity
My art is a blend of emotional introspection, color exploration, and visual storytelling. I love creating abstract, digital compositions that feel like inner landscapes: raw, intuitive, and deeply human.
My process is rooted in feeling first and design second. I let emotions guide the palette, textures, and forms, allowing the work to unfold naturally rather than trying to control it.
I’m especially drawn to projects that live at the intersection of art, psychology, and healing. Whether it’s visual identities, immersive installations, fashion collaborations, or creative education. I love working with people and brands who care deeply about emotional resonance and aren’t afraid to explore the invisible side of human experience.
For me, art is a tool for connection with ourselves, and with each other. Whether I’m designing, teaching, or collaborating, I always return to the same intention: to create work that feels honest, intentional, and alive.
And that’s what I hope to pass on to you. Not just a technique but a mindset. I want to help you reconnect with your inner world, trust your creative instincts, and find clarity in your self-expression. This is about more than making something beautiful, it’s about learning to see yourself with compassion, curiosity, and depth. I’m just here to guide the way.
