Daun Koyak Koyak (2019) is the original commissioned artwork painted by Raudha Mahmud. Influenced by her study trip to Morocco, grandmother and best friend. 

With a mix of texture paste, each layer was painstakingly painted in with acrylic to create an almost photo-realistic depiction of each leaf against the methodological geometric tessellation. In her own words: "Islamic geometry emphasizes on manifesting the unseen at its very essence.  Im always looking for unconventional ways to translate that ideology in my painting and trying to convey the connection between the invisible, abstract, reality in the realm of creator and creation in a picture."  

How we created it?

As her painting has such rich textures and colours, we kept it simple with large clean space and shapes so as to not clutter the printed shawl when being worn and also provide different variations for the wearer to show off. 

Materials: Polyester Mixed Matt Satin

Size:180x72cm
