ABOUT THE ARTWORK

We have written Adhkars “Praises for Allah (God)” in this painting. Please see the Adhkar in the pictures we have used. ‘Dhikar’ is the remembrance of Allāh (God), and it illuminates the heart. One feels comfort, satisfaction, and contentment in Dhikar. ‘Tasbihaat’ are the specific words Dhikar that Muslims learn at an early age, and use in daily life without even thinking. Tasbihaat is embedded in our speech and thoughts, and a Muslim’s relationship with these words makes them unique and powerful, such that they deserve to be written in gold. We have used a fresh and bright color palette for the backgrounds, taking inspiration from the cosmos. The gold foil illuminates the calligraphy and the painting overall. It not only renders a rich and vibrant calligraphy composition but also resonates with the idea of illumination – a reflective surface that aesthetically soothes the eyes and the heart. The Illumination calligraphy series makes use of the Al-Sunbali script, which is a modern script with a dynamic character. Language is not necessary to appreciate Art. The same is true of Islamic Art – one doesn’t need to know or understand the Arabic language to see the beauty. We hope Illumination and our Arabic other calligraphy artworks resonate with you.

Salam and Hello, I am Waqas and I am an Arabic Calligraphy artist based in Auckland, New Zealand. I collaborate with my wife Sameera Waqas and create Arabic calligraphy Art. Our work is modern, contemporary, and Abstract. We also do traditional work and bespoke artwork. I always had a love for Arabic calligraphy. It helps me keep calm and relax, as Arabic calligraphy also teaches you how to be persistent, and patient. I am now studying traditional calligraphy script Thuluth and Naskh from Hoca Haji Noor Din, master calligrapher and student of master of master calligraphers Hasan Celebi. My focus is Thuluth and Naskh scripts but I am quite proficient in other scripts e.g. Al-Sunbali, Al-Wisam, Al-Dewani, Modern Kufic and many other freestyle scripts. I am determined to get my IJJAZZA (traditional calligraphy certification) and spread this beautiful art to others. Hi, I am Sameera and I am a self-taught artist. Painting has always helped me calm down and spare my mind from the worries of life. I am a big advocate of women's mental health and the one thing that really helped me has been an expression of thoughts and feeling through art. Through my work, I aim to encourage women to express and connect more through a medium they love and never look back.
