The Art That Speaks to the Soul
Featuring the Works of Farida Mujtaba
The Village Arts Factory is proud to present an exhibition highlighting the tradition and breathtaking beauty of Islamic art, featuring the work of artist Farida Mujtaba.
Inspired by the intricate beauty of Islamic architectural monuments and design traditions, Farida Mujtaba’s exhibit The Art That Speaks to the Soul invites viewers to pause, reflect, and connect with the beauty, serenity, and spiritual elegance that have long defined Islamic art. Although rooted in these traditional forms, the compositions are often slightly abstract, allowing structure and ornamentation to merge with a more expressive and interpretive visual language. At the heart of Mujtaba’s work lies Arabic calligraphy, featuring sacred verses from the Holy Qur’an, traditional Islamic greetings, and everyday expressions such as Alhamdulillah, Mashallah, and Subhanallah—words that carry profound spiritual and emotional meaning.
on display July 1 through July 28, 2026
Mujtaba strives to create art that speaks to the soul. Working primarily with acrylic paint and gold leaf on canvas and wood, the pieces are intended to invite reflection, remembrance of God (dhikr), and appreciation of the breathtaking beauty of Islamic art. Through each brushstroke, she aims to echo the spiritual elegance of this tradition—art that not only pleases the eye, but also nurtures the heart and spirit.
Join us at the Village Arts Factory on Friday, July 10, for the opening reception of The Art That Speaks to the Soul. Stop by between 6:00 and 8:00pm to meet the artist, view the exhibit, and enjoy a variety of light refreshments. There is no cost to attend and all are welcome!
