Graphic adaptation of an acrylic on canvas

Only exists in soft copy
 

These three art works are modernist expressions of the spiritual state of mind where one would be in when he or she believes that Almighty God had given His signs (Hidayah) that lead to after life happiness, that is, the path to loving God Himself. The motives in the works are random Arabic letters in marronish red or brown representing the devine language of Islam and the colour of human flesh respectively - the former symbolises Hidayah from God and the latter the acceptance of the Hidayah by human beings.




These art works are in soft copy format as its production involved computer graphics rendering on a photograph of an acrylic on canvas work in progress of another art work entitled Satu (See image on the Right). The decision to explore these in computer graphics arose out of art commissioning by the Committee of Section 14 "Round" Mosque in Petaling Jaya for their publication, the Ramadhan Karim book for 2015. The final version that has been submitted to the commissioning party is as attached above bearing the black Jawi print on the top right saying Ramadhan Karim, the Blessed Month of Ramadhan of the Islamic Hijrah calendar.
