Asma Sahar | The Dance of the Seekers

I am a multidisciplinary artist deeply inspired by Islamic traditions, histories, and cultural heritage. With a Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts, my creative practice spans landscape, architecture, and calligraphy—disciplines through which I explore and preserve the beauty of Islamic identity. My work often reflects the architectural grandeur of the Mughal era and other Islamic civilizations, brought to life through a careful balance of historical knowledge and artistic technique.


Calligraphy, as a spiritual and artistic form, plays a significant role in my work, serving as a bridge between the sacred and the visual. I have been recognized for my contributions to the arts, earning first place at MuslimFest 2022 and second and third places at the live art competitions hosted by the Peel Art Gallery Museum + Archives in 2021 and 2022.
Through my art, I aim to honor the richness of Islamic heritage while creating meaningful connections across cultures and time.

“The Dance of the Seekers” depicting whirling dervishes in motion against a serene blue background, captures the spiritual rhythm and mysticism of Sufi tradition. Together, these works celebrate the rich cultural and spiritual tapestry of the Muslim world—from architectural legacy to inner devotion. Through abstraction and symbolism, I aim to preserve, honor, and reintroduce Islamic traditions in a visual language that resonates with both heritage and modernity.
