Wa Huwa 'Ala Kulli Shay'in Qadeer


25 x 40 acrylic on stretched canvas w/ gorgeous gold and black antique frame. 

This was one of my favourite to work on. The background is aged a bit with layers of paint to thicken the texture, then rubbed or wiped off with water and a cloth. This gives it a vintage look, which I am totally obsessed with! I added a damask-like corner border to compliment the Arabic calligraphy in the opposite corner, which is a segment from the Holy Qur'an that reads  wa huwa 'ala kulli shay'in qadeer (and ALLAH has power over all things). The black and gold antique Victorian  frame is exactly what this picture needed to complete this work of art. May ALLAH bless the person who has purchased this painting, AMEEN.
