Maisara Baroud develops a body of work deeply marked by an aesthetic and emotional dichotomy, primarily expressed through black and white. This visual contrast symbolizes the tension between suffering and hope, reason and passion, and offers a way to approach the complex realities of the Palestinian context through a profoundly human lens. His works address universal themes such as war, exile, detention, and survival, while revealing pain, resilience, and a desire for freedom.

Since October 7, 2023, he has been carrying out a daily project titled I Am Still Alive, in which he draws one or more characters each day representing his emotions and his situation in besieged Gaza. This project, somewhere between an intimate testimony and a cry for survival, becomes an act of resistance in the face of war, communication blackouts, and occupation.
