giclée print
master framers
by Siddiqa Juma
The Craft
"I would stand back and see the vastness of the Ummah growing. Every language, every culture, every background. All moving around the same centre."
I painted this on canvas in acrylic, working in bold expressive strokes. Each daub was painted quickly and intuitively. After a handful of colours I would stand back and see the vastness of the Ummah growing. I wanted to paint that feeling of a huge variety of languages, cultures, and backgrounds all moving together around the same centre.
The Centre
The Kaaba sits in solid black at the heart of the painting. Every single daub of colour in the piece orbits this one point. I wanted it to feel still and absolute against all that movement around it.
The Daubs
Each mark was painted quickly and intuitively, one daub at a time. No two are the same colour. No two are the same size. After a handful I would stand back and see the Ummah growing across the canvas.
The Outer Ring
At the edges the daubs become darker and more densely packed. The colours are still all there but the light has faded. I wanted the painting to feel like it was still expanding, still going, beyond the edge of the canvas.
The Story
"People who look nothing like me, who speak languages I do not understand, and yet we share something fundamental."
I have always been moved by the sheer variety of people I meet at the mosque, at Islamic events, at Hajj. People who look nothing like me, who speak languages I do not understand, who come from places I have never been, and yet with whom I share something fundamental. I wanted to paint that feeling. Not unity as sameness, but unity as recognition. The moment you look at someone very different from yourself and see a brother or a sister.

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.
