Description
A recent artwork that required much patience and resilience! This painting depicts the shrine of the Master of Martyrs, Imam Hussain (as). I based it on a photograph I took of the shrine on the 15th of Sha’ban, which is why you can see the flowers and vibrant colors adorning the shrine in celebration of this blessed day.
I was inspired to paint this piece because the mirror work on the walls has always intrigued me as an artist. Capturing all the reflections was daunting, but a persistent urge kept me steadfast in completing the painting, even amid moments of self-doubt.
The intricate details and reflections also carry a spiritual meaning for me: just as we see ourselves reflected in the mirrored walls of the shrine, we are reminded to look inward. Does our soul reflect the qualities of a true soldier of our Imam, or does it reflect the qualities of his enemies?
We must “Reflect”
