I’ve always been moved by UK-based artist Lateefa Spiker’s artwork. Born to parents who converted to Islam, and raised in four different countries, she grew up feeling that she did not belong in just one place. Her pieces have a deeply mesmerising, spiritual presence – her works are felt in the heart, not simply seen on a wall.
On her approach to art, she explained, “I try and let my soul speak through the abstract forms and colours of my work. I think art can be a form of soul to soul communication, beyond religion, culture or anything else that can divide people from our common humanity.”
