Oil PaintDescription
This painting features Arabic calligraphy—executed in a fluid, semi-cursive style that combines elements of Thuluth and Diwani script traditions. The contrast between the bold, sweeping ascenders and the fine, looping descenders showcases the artist’s control over balance and proportion.
The white ink of the script stands out vividly against the layered background of indigo, crimson, amber, and gold, suggesting both light emerging from darkness and the spiritual beauty of divine expression. Arabic calligraphy, often considered a sacred art in Islamic culture, transforms language into a visual embodiment of rhythm and devotion—where the written word itself becomes an act of reverence.
The overlapping strokes and interconnected letterforms give the impression that the verses are not just written but woven, reinforcing the unity between word, art, and meaning. This work demonstrates spiritual depth—inviting contemplation on how form and faith converge through language.Try it!
