About The Artwork
Story behind Painting: Inspired by the Artist’s very own diverse family history and background; bringing a spin on historic narratives by grabbing on actual history from the past linking Africa, Europe and Arabia. Afrikaans a fairly new language was invented by Native South Africans, Malay-Indoneasian-Arabs (A.K.A Cape Malays) and Europeans (Dutch Settlers) collectively, the language was first written and preserved in Arabic Calligraphy; and the first books written in Afrikaans are mostly Islamic religious in nature and are kept at the Cape Town Museum of Heritage and Culture. When looking at the actual history of South Africa’s Afrikaaner population we will find that it is not just made up of Europeans but racially mixed Europeans prior to arrival in South Africa. Afrikaaners are a mixture of intermarried peoples and historic archives proves this fact, further when one delves into the European history of the settler communities; the Islamic faith itself was not foreign as many among the Dutch settlers were European Muslims when we compare the timeframe of Islam in both Europe and Africa. Same can be said of the latter British/Victorian settlers who did not adopt the Afrikaans language yet were racially mixed prior to arriving in South Africa. Majority of the European settler communities who migrated to South Africa fled religious persecution. South Africa’s first elected black politician [1904] Dr. Abdullah Abdurahmaan was married to a European Woman, studied at the University of Glasgow and Sacks. He met Gandhi in 1909. He fought hard on the political battlefield for the inclusion of South Africa’s native black community in the political, socio-economic future of the country. There also exists documented lists of European Settlers who married amongst Native South Africans and the Cape Malays, majority of whom are the forefathers of South Africa’s White Afrikaner Community.

Farook has been the Resident Artist of the Athenaeum South Africa since the year 2020-2021, a grand victorian styled building meant for Arts, Culture and Heritage. It holds a number of gallery spaces and a theater. Farook has spearheaded the 2021 Open Call Exhibition at the Athenaeum which lead to him winning the National Mzansi Arts and Media Awards under the category of best events organizer. In 2022 he won the Award for Best Visual Artist under the category of Arts and Crafts. Here's a 2021 Artist Interview Farook had at the Athenaeum which aired on DSTV Channel 260: https://youtu.be/o5B_-HaJhNE From the Artist: "I come from a very diverse family background and have family in nearly every part of the world. I was born and raised in the beautiful Nelson Mandela Bay Metro, Eastern Cape, South Africa. I’ve traveled around the country and made home of our other noted and beautifully vibrant cities such as Johannesburg and Durban but I’m now back in my hometown. I’m also a collector of rarities and other valuables, an artist by nature and my work is influenced by world history, my own diverse family background which I can trace “spanning continents”, I’m also influenced by my physical surroundings and global events affecting us all (some of my works are a bit controversial and it adds some fun and spice for collectors who buy my works with the aim of making a buck or two or simply because they love and appreciate my creative expression), it’s all very unique, always tells a story and looks like the kind of artwork you’d usually find in an old money home. I’ve taken part in National and International Art competitions such as the Mzansi Art Gallery Competition & Exhibition 2021, The 2021 New Now Emerging Artist Competition hosted by Galerie NOKO, sponsored by VANSA [Visual Artist Network of South Africa], L’atelier [Continental, Sponsored by ABSA Bank] and Climanosco (Switzerland) for Art And Science on the topic of Global Warming and Rising Water Levels & State of The Art Gallery Competition on the same theme of Global Warming. I have a lot more to say and add but will be updating my journey along the way.
