Renowned Kuwaiti artist has traveled to Utah to work on what will become the largest stained glass art creation in the world.
The creation of Arabic calligraphy combines an artistic flourish with the beauty of the written word.
Ali Albabbah describes his art form as "the most important art in the Arabic and Islamic civilization. And it can show a lot of feelings and a lot of beauty in our language."
Albaddah is an internationally recognized artist from Kuwait whose works grace galleries in mosques and private homes. Human and animal images or depictions of nature are not found in Arabic and Islamic art, as Muslims believe those are all God's creations and should not be imitated.
But Albaddah's latest work is a first — he joins artists from Holdman Studios in Lehi to create a one-of-its-kind Sphere of Light — a building of stained glass. He said the piece would bring together religion, art, and architecture.
Tom Holdman, founder of Holdman Studios, was inspired to create the project.
"History of the world is written in art. The Arabic countries have flourished into this visual art form that is so elegant and then powerful," Holdman said...

...Two different art styles have come together in the creative process. Albaddah has discovered people who have become more than friends
Gayle Holdman said her team feels the same.
"To create a piece of art that has the possibility to speak to the world, we need to speak with the world. So to be able to have Ali and his colleagues come and share with us their life experience, that's beyond what we were hoping for," she said.
