Arabic Calligraphy Acrylic Painting
The title of the artwork is Bismillah I used acrylic, and heavy texture on canvas. This artwork is a mixture of seascape and landscape. One side it shows the flow of water and other side the rough land with stones. The word bismillah is written with silver leaf Bismillah (Arabic: بسم الله) is a phrase in Arabic meaning “in the name of Allah”. It is also the first word in the Qur’an, and refers to the Qur’an’s opening phrase. The meaning of this Islamic phrase is, “In the name of Allah, The Most Gracious and The Most Merciful“. It’s recited by Muslims daily for many different occasions. The most common place you’d hear Bismillah Hir Rahman Nir Rahim being recited is before reading the Holy Book (Quran). It’s also said during obligatory prayers (salat) before Surah Fatiha but it is Sunnah that this be recited silently in the reader’s head. The only chapter of the Qur’an is Surah Tawbah which does not begin with this phrase. You would likely see bismillah calligraphy version while reading Quran. Bism = meaning ‘with’, ‘by’, or ‘name’. ilah = Arabic word meaning “God”. Ar Rahman and Ar Raheem are two of the 99 names of Allah which refer to Allah’s attribute of being kind, gentle, and merciful. Putting this together, you can come up with the translation “By the name of God (Allah), the all-Merciful, the especially-Merciful”. The dimensions of artwork is 60x90cm. The colors are black with the touch of silver. All colors are in dark shades. The artwork is silver framed I used cotton canvas. I love to play with acrylics, textures and gold/silver leafs. The artwork is vertical in shape I love to paint seascapes, oceans, landscapes, infact all my artworks have a touch of this style The artwork is 100% hand painted and original. This is one of its kind of artwork. I have completed this artwork in 2022.
