Samir Malik
Ermm…..before anyone tell me off, yes I know that I am late with this weeks post.
I was travelling and I lost track of time.
Anyways, better late than late – that’s what I always say!
Last week I showed you about Mazzy Malik, so I decide to stick with the same family group and talk to you about Samir Malik. Yup – they are related!!!
Some of you may already heard of Samir Malik, as he was one of the three judges for Ijtema Photo Contest. The other judges were Peter Sanders and yours truly, Teakster.
Samir Malik creates and presents spaces to communicate and share the power and beauty of Islam.
Drawing roots from classical Islamic Art and Calligraphy as well as Western and Asian forms, his art presents Islamic concepts in a fusion between different artistic traditions utilising classical mediums: ink and paints on paper and canvas, applied with qalam and brushes.
Each piece is for him a meditation on the Spirit and the teachings of Islam, teachings that guide us to live our lives sourced from peace, mercy and kindness in our relationships with fellow human beings and our environment, as well as submission to a Higher Force, the Source of all things, that works through compassion and mercy.
