ART EXHIBITION 'SPIRITUAL REFLECTIONS' AT DAR AL CID


 PICTURES OF SOME OF AMBEREENA'S ART WORK AT THE EXHIBITION






I had written in an earlier blog, about the art exhibition 'Spiritual Reflections' by Ambereena Ali Razvi and Fahim Hamid Ali. My husband and I visited the exhibition yesterday at Dar Al Cid and we had quite an uplifting experience. A vibrant, charming and beautiful young Indian lady,  Ambereena who was raised in Kuwait, studied Fine Arts in Paris, for five years, currently working as an Art Teacher in Gulf English School, expresses contemplation, positivity, peace and an artistic representation of  wisdom gained through spiritual reflections in her paintings. She had also exhibited works that involved textile designs. Some of her work also involved current social issues and peaceful solution depicted through art.

I personally enjoyed all of Ambereena's work, as each had a special message or a hidden spiritual significance like one of the paintings depicted a subtle reminder to us, 'And how many of Lord's bounties will you deny?' Isn't it true that sometimes we have to remind ourselves of the numerous divine blessings in our life. A mystery verse, "Noor un Al Noor' - Light upon Light, is another painting Ambereena would prefer visitors and viewers to decipher...What is darkness? what is light? What according to you is Light upon  light? Ambereena's paintings are beyond all human differences, in her words, we humans are all one...of the one and the same spirit. She is definitely a very talented and gifted artist.

Fahim Hamid Ali from Toronto, Canada, is a self taught artist whose art work is a calligraphic in nature bathed in backgrounds of amazing colours and shades, again taking the viewer or art enthusiast on a spiritual contemplation through his paintings. The exhibition was inaugurated by Sheika Omniya Abdallah Mubarak Al Sabah.  Fahim made two paintings for Sheika Omniya, live, as she watched, supported by music in the background, which forms a base to his inspiring work.  His art work is quite admirable and I hope Fahim and Ambereena will conduct many more exhibitions.

Thank you my dear Aroona for your kind words. It takes an enlightened mind to understand the messages that I had hidden in my paintings. U embraced them and spread the message further on. May the Almighty always bless you with his bounties. :)Stay in touch.
