Jonah

Always imagined Jonah with Albrecht Dürer face. Maybe because of his determined and focused eyes, and his wet long hair, and his interest to paint the animals. Jonah went out in anger from the great desert of Nineveh but his fate was not what he expected.

«And [remember] the Man of the Fish, when he left in a rage, thinking that We would not put him to hardship. Then he cried out in the darkness, ‘There is no god except You! You are immaculate! I have indeed been among the wrongdoers!’»
[21–87] Quran

Jonah means pigeons but his surname in Quran is Dhu al-Nun / Dhu'n-Nun (the man who owns the fish). The bird and the sea.

Battle of Karbala

Many years ago, my first attempts to picture the story of karbala and the martyrdom of Imam Hussain, as minimal as I could.
I really like the primitive and pure feeling of these simple drawings.
