giclée print
master framers
by Siddiqa Juma
The Craft
"Every figure is a different colour. Every colour bleeds into the next. None of them stand apart."
I painted the dark background first in deep hues of blues and greens. Then I drew the outline of each figure using a bottle of acrylic paint fitted with a fine nozzle. I painted the figures in loosely with a thin layer of colour, each one a different hue, ranging from earthy reds and oranges to blues and greens. They bleed and merge into one another. The Kaaba sits at the centre, painted in black with a gold band. The figures are packed tightly together, overlapping, pressing in from every direction.
The Figures
I drew the outline of each figure using a bottle of acrylic paint fitted with a fine nozzle. Then I painted them in loosely with a thin layer of colour. Each one is a different hue. They bleed and merge into one another across the dark background.
The Kaaba
The Kaaba sits at the centre, painted in black with a thick gold band. The figures press in from every side, packed tightly together, overlapping. There is no space between them and it.
The Colour
The colours range from earthy reds and oranges to blues and greens. I painted the dark background first in deep hues, then built the figures over it. Up close you can see where the colours bleed into each other and into the ground beneath.
The Story
"All of them different. All of them moving in the same direction."
I painted this after an Umrah visit just before the pandemic. I was watching from the upper level, looking down at the crowd moving around the Kaaba. Seeing people from every part of the world, all together, all moving in the same direction, I wanted to capture that. The verse from Surah Al-Hujurat (49:13) says it better than I can: "O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another."

Your print is made to last. A few things worth knowing:
Keep it out of direct sunlight where possible. Archival paper holds its colour well, but prolonged UV exposure will fade any print over time.
Avoid hanging in humid rooms such as bathrooms or kitchens. Moisture is the main enemy of fine art paper.
If your print arrives rolled, lay it flat under a few books for 24 hours before framing. It will settle naturally.
For cleaning, a soft dry cloth on the glass is all you need. Never spray directly onto the print.
