Islamic Pop Art

My first ever Islamic art paintings were created in 2011, experimenting with merging arabic calligraphy and the bold and colourful aesthetics of pop art. I wanted to challenge the traditional values of Islamic Art by pushing the boundaries visually. To juxtapose the deeper concepts against the playful, bold style and colours. I wanted to broaden the horizons of Islamic Art and show the community that Islamic art can also be bright, colourful and more importantly conceptual. I am also adamant not to use faces in my work so that my pieces can be displayed in all households.
