The Marvels of Things Created and the Miraculous Aspects of Existing Things

Here is another work from 2011, titled 'The Marvels of Things Created and the Miraculous Aspects of Existing Things'. It is inspired by a 13th century manuscript of the same name which was written by a Muslim cosmographer, and which contains descriptions of the celestial spheres, geological forms, types of animals and uncanny creatures, including weird humanoids and animal-human mixtures. Pictorially, I wanted to mix the conventions of Persian and Indian miniature painting, with its often strange and fantastical, luminescent, coral-like landscapes and composite creatures, with my interest in comic book illustration (though it certainly leans more towards the latter). It was exhibited as a light box.
