Collection: 2004 Hearts of Arabia - Woman & Flowers Heart
What is the meaning of Hearts in Artwork
In art, the heart symbol primarily represents love, affection, and emotional connection. It's a universal symbol, transcending cultures and historical periods, and often evokes feelings of warmth, joy, and compassion. Beyond romantic love, the heart can also symbolize spiritual love, religious devotion, and even pain or sorrow.
In the context of Islamic and Arabic usage, "Hearts in Arabia" most likely refers to the spiritual and emotional significance of the heart in Islamic tradition and culture. The Arabic word for heart, "qalb," is not just the physical organ but also represents the center of one's being, emotions, intentions, and spiritual life. The concept of "qalb" emphasizes its constant state of change and transformation, influenced by both positive and negative forces.
The Artworks are inspired by the ‘Hearts of Arabia’, a Journey with Purpose -Heart of Arabia Expedition by H St John B Philby CMG and his 1917 journey across Arabia, from east coast to west. Mr Philby was awarded The Royal Geographical Society’s Founders Medal, the highest award the society could bestow, an award that had to be personally approved by King George. The expedition helped shape a nation, led to the biggest oil deal in the history of the planet and that added exceptional detail and understanding to the existing knowledge of Arabia.
The "Hearts of Arabia" expedition and T.E. Lawrence, also known as Lawrence of Arabia, are connected through their shared exploration and involvement in the Arabian Peninsula during and after World War I. The Hearts of Arabia expedition retraced the 1917 journey of Harry St. John Philby, loosely following his route from the Arabian Gulf to the Red Sea. Lawrence, a British military officer, played a key role in the Arab Revolt, a conflict within the broader World War I context.
