Asfour's traditional, signature style is inspired by her various travels throughout Europe, the Americas and the South Seas. After earning her fine arts degree at the Leonardo Da Vinci Academy, she travelled throughout Europe, supporting her creative exploits with a successful career as an illustrator. A magazine illustrator for five years at a popular Lebanese magazine in Beirut, Lebanon, Asfour's illustration work has graced several magazine covers, children's magazines art books and advertisements. Rita Asfour experiments in several mediums including oil on canvas, pastel on board, and paper relief. Her sentimental oils and pastels encompass the romantic ambiance of traditional art and consequently maintain her constant appeal. Several of Asfour's works are romantic images of women or children occupied by simple day to day frivolities. She paints life with such comfort and genteel spirit that she negates the distracting realities of today. The inspiration and frequent model for many of Asfour's paintings is her beloved daughter, Amber.
