Museum quality Giclée print produced on 300gsm Hahnemühle paper

Zouq-e-Rang - The Taste of Colour

In this artwork, Maaida presents a masterful study of Islamic illumination design, drawing deeply from classical tradition. Rendered on handmade khadi paper, the composition follows the symmetry of a central shamsa, where intricate floral motifs and scrolling biomorphic patterns interlace in rhythmic balance. Through this careful structure, she honours the timeless discipline and harmony embedded within Islamic illumination design.

Maaida brings the piece to life using the rich, opaque textures of gouache, layered with intention and depth. These painted surfaces are illuminated by the luminous brilliance of 23.5 karat shell gold, applied through traditional gilding techniques that accentuate the delicacy of each line. The gold does not merely decorate the geometry, it allows it to glow, giving the pattern an ethereal presence that shifts beautifully with light.

With Zouq e Rang, meaning “The Taste of Colour,” Maaida offers a professional tribute to artisanal heritage, bridging historical precision with a contemporary appreciation for the sensory and spiritual power of pigment.
