Much of Faïson's art particularly in Acrylic, Enamel and Oils, display his back-to-the-roots nature. Faïson's use of colours, though international in outlook, stick to the Cameroon Grassland traditions where the ordinary shades of sun baked bricks and clay pots, the gray of cinders and places of worship, the blue (indigo) of the twilight sky and Ndop royal cloth, the red of cam wood, palm-oil, sunsets and blood, the green of nyuseji* and the high attitude prairie, the white of palm wine, salt, and bones; the yellow-ochre of sunbursts at dawn and the golden blur of the elusive leopard, significantly augment the sense/celebration of life, and profoundly reinforce the presence of the Almighty creator Jehovah.

The works are results of a systematic study "Adapting Cameroon Grassland Palace Motifs Into Painting". The study is broken down into seven stages in order to show distinct developmental capacity of the motifs and to meet the taste range of individuals. The stages are: exploration of motifs, abstract exploration of motifs, development of motifs, figural infusions, sensitive compositions, simplified compositions, and existential compositions.
