Iqra by Bin Qallandar

A striking fusion of tradition and abstraction, "Iqra" by contemporary artist Bin Qallandar is a bold homage to the sacred power of knowledge and divine revelation. The Arabic calligraphy at the heart of this piece is skillfully interwoven with symbolic geometry, spiritual motifs, and intricate detailing — all anchored in a rich palette of crimson, cream, and deep greens.

Each brushstroke and script reflects the mystical depth of Islamic calligraphy while embodying a modern, expressive aesthetic. The central form, prominently featuring the Arabic word "Iqra" (meaning "Read"), evokes the first word revealed in the Quran — a timeless reminder of the divine command to seek knowledge.

Perfect for collectors of Islamic art or admirers of culturally resonant, thought-provoking work, this original painting is a one-of-a-kind statement piece that radiates spiritual and artistic depth.
