Inspired by the Quranic concept of the Charbagh and the radiant wisdom of Ayat al-Noor, my artworks embody the harmony and balance that exist between the physical and spiritual worlds. Through intricate illumination and traditional techniques, I've created a visual representation of the divine light that illuminates the path to eternal life.
My paintings feature the fruit trees frequently mentioned in the Quran, including olives, figs, pomegranates, bananas, grapes, date palms, and honey. Each tree is placed within an eight-pointed star, signifying absolute perfection and divine balance.
Through the use of handmade pigments and traditional techniques, I've sought to capture the essence of the divine light that guides us towards spiritual growth and enlightenment. The paintings serve as a reminder of the importance of good deeds, pure intentions, and the pursuit of divine light in achieving a beautiful eternal life in heaven.
