Acrylic & glass on canvas
80 x 40 cm
A modish & chic contemporary piece of mixed media. Bismillah (Meaning – In the name of God, the most merciful) written in cream Kufic Arabic script over a background base of dark maroon. A detailed rectangle of swirly maroon patterns over a cream base is on the top left of the painting. The textured strip detail on the right of the painting has been painted using a base of cream with maroon over tiny glass beads.
Salaams to all.
The above painting was one that was recently donated and sold at auction to raise funds for the SEECC in Billericay. Alhamdulillah, it raised a good sum and kick started the fundraising for the new school they hope to aquire.
I just recently finished another Bismillah piece and will soon upload the image. I had started it in June and due to illness and other events, I had not been able to complete it. Alhamdulillah, I managed to finish it last week and I have also added it to the Saatchi Online Competition for this week.
Till the next time
Peace and salaams to all
