Mixed Media Islamic Art Piece with Calligraphy

This mixed media Islamic art piece features prominent calligraphy, including the phrases “الذي خلق” (Alladhi Khalaq – “The One who created”) and “اقْرَأْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ” (Iqra’ bi-ismi Rabbika alladhi Khalaq – “Read in the name of your Lord who created”). These phrases are significant as they are the beginning of Surah Al-Alaq (The Clot), the first revelation to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). The artwork also includes other visible text, such as “الد علما اکله” (Al-Dunya `Alima Akalahu – “The world, its knowledge has encompassed it”) and “الانسان المسلم” (Al-Insan al-Muslim – “The Muslim human being”). The use of mixed media, combining different materials and textures, creates a visually rich and complex piece. The overall composition suggests a blend of traditional Islamic calligraphy with contemporary artistic approaches. The artwork explores themes of creation, knowledge, and faith, reflecting the meaning of the chosen Quranic verses.
