About The Artwork
Yes, I realize that I'm catering to a very niche market with this one... The (colourless) Flag of Wales is depicted using the Diwani Jali Arabic Calligraphy script featuring the words from part the Welsh National Anthem, Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau. The first two verses are written in the would be green area behind the dragon, while the second verse (refrain) is written again in the body of the dragon. Various English translations of the sogn exist but the English translation from which the Arabic was translated (By Susan Wilson and Everitte Barbee) can be seen at the bottom. Shipping includes tracking and insurance, anywhere in the world. The price of this print will change and is determined by the number of unsold prints available in the edition. The old land of my fathers is dear to me, Land of bards and singers, famous men of renown; Her brave warriors, very splendid patriots, For freedom shed their blood. Nation [or country], Nation, I am faithful to my Nation. While the sea [is] a wall to the pure, most loved land, O may the old language [sc. Cymraeg] endure.

Lebanon
Born 1988 in Nashville, Tennessee Currently working from my atelier in Beirut, Lebanon since 2011, I continue to pursue my education and understanding of Islamic Art and calligraphy. Working in the Diwani, Diwani Jali and square Kufic scripts, I use the words to create illustrations ranging from portraits to geometric abstract constructions. The work celebrates Middle Eastern and Islamic culture in addition to focusing on human rights in the post colonial era, with an emphasis on American and western foreign policy. With few calligraphers who use their words to illustrate rather than write, my greatest inspiration comes from Jila Peacock, and Hassan Musa. My aim is to eventually achieve the flawless legibility of Peacock's work while also grasping the visual accuracy with which Hassan Musa illegibly creates his animals and figures, using shapes and strokes inspired by calligraphy. As nearly all of the original work has been sold. I'm primarily selling limited edition facsimile giclee prints, on Saatchi, particularly only those in which at least half of the edition has already been sold.
