giclée print
master framers
by Siddiqa Juma
The Craft
"Not the instrument itself, but what it was built to find"
The painting begins at the base with the keffiyeh. The pattern is painted in by hand, stroke by stroke, in black, white and green. Repetitive. Deliberate.
Above that the work opens up. Brush and palette knife together, sometimes in the same movement. The barbed wire is not painted but scratched directly into the canvas, sharp black lines cut through wet paint. The olive tree is built up in thick, loaded strokes. The leaves carry the colours of the flag: red, green, black, white. The trunk and roots twist downward in deep reds and blacks, pressing into the earth.
Behind the tree, the Dome is heavy with gold. Layer on layer, textured and raised, the light catching differently across the surface. The sky is pushed across the canvas in blues and whites, loose and moving. A red border frames the whole piece, holding everything inside it.
The Gold
The Dome is built up in heavy layers of gold paint, worked with a palette knife until the surface has weight and texture. Each pass catches the light differently.
The Wire
The barbed wire is not painted but scratched directly into the canvas in sharp black lines. The roots of the olive tree push through it, twisting downward in deep reds and blacks.
The Pattern
The keffiyeh border at the base is painted stroke by stroke, each mark placed by hand. Repetitive. Deliberate. A foundation that had to be earned before anything else could be built on top of it.
The Story
"Still they remain. Still they plant. Still they name their children after villages that no longer exist."
There is a word in Arabic that has no real equivalent in English. Sumud. It means steadfastness. Rootedness. The refusal to be moved.
It is not defiance. It is something quieter and more enduring. The act of remaining. Of planting. Of continuing to tend what is yours even when everything says it is over.
Palestinians have practised sumud for generations. Through displacement, through siege, through loss that accumulates beyond what language can hold. And still they remain. Still they plant. Still they name their children after villages that no longer exist on any map.

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.
