Welcome to the personal website of artist and poet Babbs Shakir. On this site you will find original contemporary artwork encompassing
various styles, themes and subject matter, as well as original poetry, written from the heart, full of passion and emotion.
"I feel there is nothing more satisfying than creating a piece of art that conveys mood, evokes emotional response and touches the human spirit. With art, I delve into the beauty of the world about us and explore the different realms of the human psyche; the sharp contrasts of hope and despair, love and hate, life and death. I strive to deliver more than just a painting, each piece is a portal into the world of my perception and a journey to a better understanding. The creative process has at it's core a contemplative and a spiritual understanding, however, it can never be truly mastered, there shall always be new discoveries to grasp, new encounters to be had and new creations to be made"
