SABA FARRUKH
Saba Farrukh, a passionate and steadfast artist and a devoted teacher with over 25 years of experience. She acquired a Master’s degree in English Language Arts alongside an additional degree in Fine Arts thanks to years of unwavering diligence. She is a fervent admirer of the artistic expression of Islamic essence and is zealous in her pursuit to integrate the Quranic philosophy into the Arts through her nonpareil proficiency in the conveyance of the Islamic message.
Saba has been teaching Art to young students in Islamic schools from the elementary level all the way to high school since 1998. Her artistry and inspiration for painting and calligraphy originate directly from the beauty and harmony found in nature. The gratification experienced when finalizing a work of art for her is unmatched, and is what encourages her to persist in her artistic endeavor.
She remained as passionate about teaching after she was recognized as an artist locally and launched her own website through which she was able to reach a vast international audience and sold more than 200 original pieces of art globally. Saba’s work can be viewed on sabafarrukh.com.
Her persistence in the promotion and preservation of Islamic art will remain strong, Insha’Allah, along with her passion for teaching and educating youth about the wonders of art. She hopes that her efforts will have a lasting impact.

Lahore Vibes
Medium Acrylic with gallery-wrapped canvas.
Size: 24x30
This painting depicts a lively, bustling street scene filled with energy, color, and cultural charm.
The sky is a bright, clear blue scattered with colorful kites dancing overhead, giving the artwork a festive and joyful atmosphere. Below, narrow streets are lined with old, weathered buildings painted in expressive strokes of yellows, blues, greens, and browns. The artist uses bold, layered brushwork to create a textured, vibrant look that captures the lively character of a traditional marketplace.
Electrical wires crisscross the sky, adding authenticity and movement.
In the foreground, two figures on bicycles and carts navigate the busy street. Their forms are loosely rendered with quick, dynamic strokes, emphasizing motion and everyday life. On both sides of the street, small shops and vendors appear, with people gathered, walking, or sitting—suggesting a close-knit, active community.
Overall, the painting radiates warmth and nostalgia. It beautifully captures the spirit of an old urban neighborhood—full of color, culture, noise, and human activity.

Size: 48x48
This is a vibrant and expressive painting featuring the Dome of the Rock, rendered in a dramatic, swirling abstract style.
Main Elements
- Central Structure: The Dome of the Rock is the focal point, depicted with a golden dome that catches warm tones of yellow and orange. The building beneath is painted in deep blues and dark tones, giving it weight and presence.
- Calligraphy: Bold, flowing Arabic calligraphy spans across the lower foreground. The white lettering stands out strongly against the darker blues, adding spiritual depth and balancing the composition. The style suggests a phrase of blessing or faith, integrated as part of the artwork rather than floating separately.
- Background & Atmosphere: The background consists of dramatic circular, swirling brushstrokes in shades of blue, white, black, and hints of gold. These spirals create a sense of motion—almost like divine light or spiritual energy radiating outward.
- Color Palette: Dominated by blues and whites, creating a serene, celestial feeling, contrasted with the warm yellows and goldhighlighting the dome and sky.
Overall Impression
The painting blends architecture, spirituality, and abstraction. The swirling movement and luminous colors create a sense of awe and reverence, making the structure feel sacred and central, as though light and energy converge around it. It’s expressive, symbolic, and emotionally stirring—both a landscape and a spiritual statement.

- Foreground Elements: At the lower right, a brown vase with foliage sits on a table, grounding the scene in a domestic interior. To the lower left, another pot with flowers complements it.
- Style: The overall painting blends realism and abstraction. The brushwork in the sky is impressionistic, while the architecture and foliage are more defined. Layering, texture, and contrasts between warm gold tones and cool blues add depth.

Hiran Minar

Hiran Minar also Known as “The Deer Tower” is an early 16th-century Mughal-era complex located in Sheikhupura, Punjab.
Moreover, the complex was constructed at the site of a game reserve in honor of Mughal Emperor Jahangir’s lovely antelope her name was Mansraj. The Emperor is famous for his fondness of nature, and his complex embodies the Mughal relationship between humans, pets, and hunting.
I love the tranquility in that place as it’s away from the noise of the city. The cool waters are very peaceful.

Ar Raheem
AR RAHEEM (The Merciful)
MEANING: He who acts with extreme kindness.
The name Ar-Raheem (in Arabic: ٱلْرَّحِيْمُ) comes from the same root as Ar-Rahman which refers to Allah’s attribute of being Merciful. Although similarly related the meanings are different. Ar-Rahman can be understood to refer to Allah as the origination/source of all mercy, whereas Ar-Raheem refers to its sustaining/infiniteness. Some view the name of Ar-Raheem as being merciful to His creation deserving of mercy (primarily the mercy reserved for the believers).
