This intricate artwork beautifully showcases Surah Al-Fatihah through the refined technique of paper cutting, featuring detailed Arabic calligraphy at its heart. Surah Al-Fatihah, often referred to as “The Opening,” holds profound importance in Islam as it summarizes the essence of the Quran, encapsulating both praise and supplication.
In the artwork, the verses are skillfully arranged in a circular formation, symbolizing unity, completeness, and eternal flow—reflecting the eternal wisdom within the surah. Centralized calligraphy prominently highlights the divine names and core message, surrounded by a carefully detailed arrangement of verses. This placement emphasizes the connection and harmony between praising Allah and seeking His guidance.
The outer frame, decorated meticulously with floral and leafy motifs, represents the flourishing beauty and depth of spirituality. The inclusion of names like “Allah” and the phrase “Bismillah” in corner medallions further enhances the spiritual significance, reminding viewers of Allah’s encompassing mercy and compassion.
Overall, the artwork invites contemplation and spiritual reflection, encouraging the viewer to deeply engage with the powerful verses of Surah Al-Fatihah, highlighting their role as a bridge between the believer and the Divine.
Framing is currently offered within Perth, Australia only. Because paper-cutting artworks are delicate and dimensional, framing is a little different to standard prints. I recommend a “floating” presentation, sandwiched between two pieces of glass so the artwork stays protected and visible from both sides.
If you’re in Perth, I can arrange framing and deliver to you. If you’re outside Perth, please message me with your location and I’ll share the best options and next steps.
