Biography:

British contemporary artist, Aisha Cahn's work is a hybrid of her eastern heritage, conviction of the belief in God, and being inspired by western abstract expressionist artists. Her inspirations are drawn from the sacred scriptures, on the universal themes of faith, science and art. Her love for the Arabic language and Arabic calligraphy has influenced her to express the Presence of God in a form, where the hidden purpose becomes clear when the viewer develops a state of contemplation while trying to make sense of this beautiful, stylised and angular form of text. Her work reveals her deep spirituality and philosophical nature in the form of conceptual contemporary art.
