Title:Shayaan Size (inches): 24 x 28 Price: £160 Description: "Shayaan" is an extraordinary piece of artwork created for an enlightened and bold individual. I wanted this piece to reflect the esoteric meaning of the name rather than focus on someone's personality. This Persian name implies worthiness, splendour and greatness. More importantly, it suggests wisdom beyond age, intelligence and an unparalleled depth of understanding. As an artist, I felt that the concept of intelligence should be based on Shahab ud Din Suhrawardi's theory of 'Hikmat al-Ishraq' (wisdom by illumination). Suhrawardi was the pioneer of this Illuminationist philosophy which declared that 'light' is the purest and most supreme entity in existence and that all creation is an emanation of this 'Pure Light'. The darkness of ignorance and emanating light of wisdom is symbolically captured in this painting. In the highly textured dark background, the name of "Shayaan" is featured as a stained glass window effect, providing beauty, light and wisdom through illumination.
