Gaby Fois Dorell is a French-American artist and designer known for her bold and colorful abstract paintings and sculptures.

Her sculptures, on the other hand, are often made of metal and are characterized by their geometric shapes and clean lines.
Fois Dorell’s work is heavily influenced by the work of the French Fauvist painters, and her paintings are often compared to the work of Matisse and Derain. She also takes inspiration from the work of the American Abstract Expressionists, and her sculptures have been compared to the work of David Smith and Mark di Suvero.
