This painting transports viewers into the heart of a Sema ceremony, where the divine dance is not only observed but deeply felt. The grace of the whirling Dervishes is rendered with a vibrant clarity, reflecting the joy and contemplation intrinsic to their meditation. Symbolizing a departure from the ego and an ascension towards the spiritual, this work of art embodies the profound principles of Sufi philosophy, echoing the poetry and mysticism of Jalaluddin Rumi.
For a quarter of a century, I navigated the corridors of power with steadfast determination, ascending from a fledgling officer to a commanding presence within a government department. Yet, the trajectory of my ambitions took unforeseen paths, leading me through the disciplined structures of semi-government entities, the pulse-quickening realms of intelligence operations, and the expansive global stage of an international corporation, where I helmed the position of Group CEO for a remarkable 13 years. However, amid this journey, a different source of power emerged within me – the power of creation. No longer confined to issuing directives, my brush now gracefully traverses canvases, giving life to the profound depths of my being. Fuelled by an unwavering passion for art, I find myself unveiling vulnerabilities and emotions with fearless strokes. This is not a mere act of painting; it is a visceral conversation, an audacious invitation for others to feel and resonate with my innermost self.
