This painting represents the ocean as mentioned in the Quran in Surah Kahf Chapter 18, Verse 109. Painted in royal blue and sky blue with the verse in Naskh style Arabic script in corresponding royal blue. Translation of Verse: “If the ocean were ink (wherewith to write out) the words of my Lord, sooner would the ocean be exhausted than would the words of my Lord, even if we added another ocean like it, for its aid”.
Acrylic on canvas – 2009 – 50 x 70cm
