Architecture as a form of art has always inspired and uplifted me. We are all guests on this earth for only a short time but architectural structures and art remain generations .
For Years I have traveled a certain classical path as an artist, painting the Dutch masters, working with materials of all kinds and mastering old and new techniques. Now in my 40’s I have been inspired to paint the holy places of different faiths. With each panting that I make, I research the history of the holy place and try to learn about it as much as I can.
The Golden Temple in Amritsar is a magical, transformative, and inspiring place. I listened to the Gurus Mantras and Shabads of the Golden Temple while painting these pieces. Each stroke in my paintings is imposed with the meditative and spiritual music of this special place. May these paintings inspire and heal you. daily.
The Prophet’s Mosque in Medina and Masjid al Aqsa in Jerusalem are sacred and historic places. I connect deeply with each place while painting them and listening to Nasheeds and songs of thikr.
