Assalamu Alykum everyone,
I’d love to share my own story with Art, Some of my friends back in my home country might wonder how I’ve started Art after all of these years in a different field ‼️‼️
And the reason for sharing it that I wanted to remind myself first and you as well how Allah The Sustainer , The Wise and The All-Knowing arranges our destinies in the best scenarios ever ‼️‼️‼️
I grew up in a very old big house where I’ve watched my uncle mastering various art techniques like woodcraft, Oils and sculpture, but due to our culture and traditions back then whoever graduated from high school with high credit would most probably join either Engineering or Medicine faculty‼️‼️
Art was always my passion in college, I’ve made a series of landscapes and portraits using pencils, sometimes I spent hours to get a satisfying grayscale portrait.
BUT unfortunately, after my graduation I completely forgot about my passion, especially after spending 5 years studying Engineering!!!!!
Then after leaving Egypt to Dubai, then to Houston almost 4 years ago I’ve decided that I wouldn’t do anything other than drawing or painting, I wouldn’t fit for a daily routine job ‼️‼️
Maybe I wouldn’t take it seriously if I haven’t left my family and friends behind, Alhamdolillah, Art really helped me to overcome this struggle.
I never started a new art piece unless I’ve inspired by verse from the Quran or Du’as from our prophet Muhammad (pbuh), It might take me 2 months to get a Canvas done, digging for inspirational Ayahs, picking colors, choosing the suitable Calligraphy style and so on😍
Art never been just a job for me, although I’m teaching Art for elementary, middle grades but that’s because I’ve been inspired by a lot of teachers during my Middle & High School so, I wish I might be an inspiration for one of my students In Shaa’ Allah☺️.
📣📣📣You need to chase your dreams but, always remember that Allah’s will overwrites everything so don’t rush it and put everything in his hands.
Last but not least, please remember me always in your Du’as
Jzakum Allah Khairan
