I am Shazia Rashida Osman, a Fine Artist and Calligrapher, practicing Heritage Fine Arts inspired by Islamic tradition.
My work is heavily informed by studies of ancient manuscripts, particularly those from the Maghreb, and North Africa.
Incorporating the traditional techniques of Calligraphy and Illumination, my aspiration is to convey my love for the written word, and gain closeness to the Divine.
Elevating my work
with the use of precious materials such as hand-crushed shell gold, 24k gold leaf, earth pigments and handmade paper, I take delight in experimenting with unusual combinations of paper, pigment and ink.
My compositions are contemporary and unique in their style, whilst being inspired by the work of past masters.
Visual narratives
enable me to explore a unique Islamic Art genre and style.
Combining the Abstract-like quality of Modern Art, with beautiful Calligraphy in the Maghrebi Script, my Art style brings a fresh perspective to Modern Islamic Art.
My latest body of work, "Transcendence" is available to collect.
I finally opened the Origin piece yesterday (after the decoration was complete - with a 12 month pause) and it took pride of place in my home today
I just wanted to say I absolutely love it. It is so beautiful, vibrant and serene and it brings so much peace and joy. Jzk

I bought the Beautiful Patience print as a gift for my brother and I’m so impressed with the detail on the prints. It is just as good as an original but well within my budget The love and faith in this piece is evident and it is so beautiful

The customer service and attention to detail from Rashida Art was superb. The painting is even better in real life and it was prepared and shipped punctually. I would highly recommend this artist; she is excellent. Thank you!

I loved the piece so much I bought several as gifts. The order process was very simple, and the prints arrived swiftly. I was delighted to see (& smell) that dried lavender was enveloped inside the packaging, it really added to the feeling that each piece really is produced & sent with love. Can’t wait to order more pieces, and I wish the artist every success in this life & the next, Ameen.
