I am often asked - What is Fakeeri ?
Even after so many years of painting it, I don't have a one word answer. So I tell them this story...
During 2020 COVID lockdown, I was inspired to paint the whirling sufi dervish in the traditional white gown and red cap. When I was making my initial sketch I realized I was not interested in portraying the outer form of a dervish but something more, so instead of the red cap I was inspired to make flowing hair.... I didn't know what to call it or make of it... so I left it there.
After couple of weeks, even months the name came - 'Fakeeri' and with it inspiration of a lifetime to capture it on canvas. I realized I wanted to capture the inner yearning of a spiritual seeker, what I like to call 'Fakeeri'. It is beyond religion and faith.... beyond time and space... it is a driving force.... an intense emotion... and since than I have been trying to paint 'Fakeeri' on canvas.
With each new artwork I try to explore the connection of our illuminated divine self shown as the glowing feminine form with the light within shown as the halo.
I released the Fakeeri- light within series in August 2022 In these paintings I am trying to capture the dynamic external and internal movements of the inner self of a spiritual seeker moving towards its source - the divine light within.
