Own a truly extraordinary piece of Islamic art — this stunning original mixed-media square canvas features bold three-dimensional raised gold Arabic calligraphy built up from the canvas surface with heavy palette knife impasto work, set against a rich, deeply textured background of dark copper and bronze with delicate teal accent details.
This piece is unlike anything else in the collection. The calligraphy is not painted — it is sculpted. The raised gold letters catch the light from every angle, creating a constantly shifting play of shadow and brilliance that makes this canvas come alive throughout the day. Up close, the extraordinary texture and craftsmanship are breathtaking. From across the room, the bold gold script commands attention with unmistakable authority.
Creating three-dimensional raised calligraphy requires extraordinary skill and patience. Each letter is built up layer by layer with palette knife and mixed media, allowed to dry, then built up again — a process that can take days. The result is a canvas that is as much sculpture as painting, with a physical presence and tactile beauty that photographs cannot fully capture.
Each piece is one-of-a-kind. Certificate of authenticity included.
