Hi, I’m Faki Kuano, also known as GiftedFaki. I’m a self-taught artist from South Sudan, now based in Ontario, and I’m passionate about exploring surrealism, abstraction, and contemporary critique through my art. Over the years, I’ve sold over 100 original pieces, collaborated with organizations like KWFamous and Bring on the Sunshine, and even created a sidewalk mural for Downtown Kitchener’s Palette X Palette event. Now, I’m taking my creative journey to Notd to share an inside look at my process, inspirations, and the ups and downs of being an artist. Through my notes, I’ll document everything—from new projects and behind-the-scenes moments to reflections on my artistic growth. Whether you’re an art lover, a fellow creative, or just curious about what it’s like to build a life around art, my stream is where I’ll share my story one note at a time. Join me as I keep creating, experimenting, and connecting through my work. #giftedfaki #art #painting
