Massiel works primarily in fine art and design. Creating work that is nostalgic, harmonious, and interactive, Massiel produces paintings of portraits, abstract, graphic design, and murals. Most of her work are retro-inspired designs through many different mediums such as oil, acrylic, interior/exterior paint, and digital.
