More Reminders



Salaams all,

Here's another installment of some of my pieces.
The purple Acrylic piece is bold and bright, reminding me of the mightiness of Allah SWA.
The olive green one is my second attempt at a geometric piece. This is in mixed medium ( watercolour & acrylic).
The blue & red piece is titled 'Chaos'. It represents a chaotic lifestyle where turning to the Almighty gives you peace and tranquility. This is in mixed medium (acrylic & ink).

Till the next time,
Salaams & peace to all.
Umm Aisha.

Recent Exhibition



Salaams to all.

Insha-Allah you have all kept well since my last post.

I thought I'd post some photos of an exhibition of some of my work, held at SEECC's Sunday Islamic School on 17th July 2005. It was the first time I had shared my work with such a huge amount of people and Alhamdulillah the day went very well. I got the opportunity to speak to some amazing people from different walks of life, who shared their experiences of awakening to the right path or their search for peace and tranquility.
Mecca to Medina, a UK based Islamic Rap group were also there and they were absolutely fantastic and very inspirational to the young and old alike.
I thank SEECC for allowing me to exhibit there, but most of all I thank Allah SWA for the whole day.
Till the next time

Wassalaam & peace to all

Awakening Art

Al-Baseer - The All-Seeing

This piece has the name Allah hidden many times in the pattern in the inner circle.
The watercolour painting represents the fact that Allah is All-Seeing, He sees what is hidden and what is not.








Allah's Favours -


Which one of Allah's Favours can we deny?















Allah


A very bold and striking piece.
Nothing is as powerful as the One Himself.

Visual Awakenings



Name : Umm Aisha Location : United Kingdom

Salaams to all. I am an artist with a passion for Islamic Art. I set up this blog to share some examples of my work with others in order for them to find some sort of enlightenment or visual awakening, Insha-Allah.
As someone once said to me 'Reminders Benefit Believers', I pray my paintings are a source of reminders for others.
This Acrylic Paisley design Allah-hu -Akbar, is one of my favourites as it is a fusion of Islamic Calligraphy and traditional Indian design. It speaks to me, as I am a British born Muslim whose parents are Indian.
