giclée print
master framers
by Siddiqa Juma
The Craft
Indeed, Allah is with the patient.
Surah Al-Baqarah 2:153
I used acrylic paint to build up this canvas in layers of deep, resonant blues and vibrant, warm golds. I constructed the Islamic architecture in semi solid, blocks of colour, while Big Ben is rendered in delicate, intricate lines, almost like it is emerging from the landscape. The sky is dominated by a large golden sphere and a brilliant burst of light, giving the piece a cosmic, spiritual atmosphere. In the lower section, I wrote sweeping Arabic calligraphy in thick, raised gold paint, its texture catching the light and standing out from the surface
The Architecture
I built the Islamic architecture in semi-solid blocks of colour, the gold and teal pressing against each other. The arch at the base is small but it holds the whole structure.
The Sphere
The large golden sphere dominates the sky. I built it up in layers, working the paint outward from the centre. The dots of colour around the edge came last, catching the light differently from every angle.
The Calligraphy
I wrote the Arabic calligraphy in thick, raised gold paint. The texture stands out from the surface and catches the light. These are not flat marks. You can feel them.
The Story
"Sabr is not giving up. It is choosing faith over fear."
After the Westminster Bridge attack in March 2017, I wanted to paint. Not in response to the violence, but in response to what came after it. The blame, the suspicion, the weight that fell on ordinary Muslims who had nothing to do with it. I wanted to paint something that held both worlds: the city I live in and the faith I carry. Islamic architecture and Big Ben under the same sky, not in conflict, but together.
Seek help through patience and prayer. Indeed, Allah is with the patient. Surah Al-Baqarah 2:153. Sabr is not giving up. It is choosing faith over fear. This painting is for every Muslim who has had to practise that in public, quietly, without recognition.

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.
