Work & Worship: Ayesha Samdani-Gratitude

24" x 24" Oil on Canvas Artist Statement: My art is inspired by nature and divine words. I start off my work with abstract approach by depicting organic forms, lines, colors, drips and brush strokes. I explore the relationship between the loose marks and the developed shapes. Lyrical lines of Arabic Calligraphy add a rhythm though out the piece. Through this intended combination of abstract painting and calligraphy, I intend to spread the message of love, faith and peace. This cohesive body of work is a combination of my faith and personal experience.
