2 The second key experience that led me to Islam was Islamic Art
What I experienced as a blessfully Islamic in so many places in
Lisbons Islamic Gulbenkian Museum, in the Umayad Mosquqe in
Dumascus, in Cairo Ibn Tulun, the ancient mosque of Qayrawan or the
Salimiyah in Ederne is the tangible effect which Islamic harmony, the
Islamic way of life, and the Islamic treatment of space leave on both heart
and mind.

4The journey in celebrating heritage is ever so evident
in all old and most recent artworks produced by
Raeda Ashour. The architectural elements and
depicted detail reveal a strong and confident
visualization and realization of aesthetic components
known to be prevalent in the Islamic art and
ornamentation. Raeda has found herself when first
inspired by the old Arabian cities with its famous
architectural and aesthetic features. She never got
tired of exploring and researching the subject of what
constitutes Islamic art, its beauty, mystery, philosophy
and aesthetics. She moved from one element to the
other from one theme to another, without getting
enough. She became passionate and obsessed by
the beauty of the area. The more she delved into
the subject, the more she became engrossed in its
details and felt more connected and proud of her own
roots and heritage. Raeda specialized in miniatures,
motifs and Islamic decorative units and adapting
these in a modern interpretation that can be digested
by contemporary tastes, the result of which are
harmonious compositions and a melody of variance
in surface treatment, some were embossed celebrated
with beautiful soft colors that pleases the eye.
Raeda continues her artistic journey in researching
and analyzing different cultures that came across or
lived parallel to Islamic arts and eastern trends and
styles. Her aim is to find aesthetic compositions and
elements that she can be inspired by, emphasize and
reinterpret in her own style that makes her art unique
and distinctive, as well as celebrate the art of these
cultures of different ethnic backgrounds nonetheless
respected worldwide.

6Readily tackling themes from Islamic art and popular
heritage, Ashour does not confine herself to her
local heritage and explores instead what the Nubian,
Moroccan, Yemeni, Persian, and Indian Horizons have
in hold. She tackles heritage with simple color and
sophisticated treatment, inspiring herself stylistically
from the vegetal and geometric motifs abundant on
old pottery, walls, balconies throughout the worlds
cities, and her themes often span palm trees, cacti, and
the deserts crossed by caravans, which contributes
to their warmth. Her palette is characterized with
austerity, simplicity, and ethereal depth, which turns
her surfaces into expressive horizons that make use of
various modern techniques.
This is said in a sense that Ashours work features
photography, soft pastels, and deep manual paper-
carving, and that the disparity of the elements in
question comes against the fact that she has not had
a specialized art education until recently, but on this
matter she explains that her preference of multi-media
comes instinctively, and that it enhances her freedom
in experimentation without abandoning the spirit of
authentic Arab Art.
Her palette is characterized with austerity, simplicity, and ethereal depth
