With her five month-old son Zane in tow, Lateefa met with Maslaha to discuss her life, art, faith and inspirations.
This artist and designer’s work is heavily inspired by Islamic art and design and draws upon elements which she has encountered through her life. The daughter of Sufi converts, Lateefa spent much of her childhood travelling around North America, Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. Noting that the she has come to see the geometry in Islamic artwork as a framework to an otherwise chaotic backdrop, she similarly compares her faith to being like an anchor in her life.
Getting to where she is now has been a long path, which has reinforced her faith and impacted her work. However, Lateefa is confident in her future ahead and we all look forward to seeing where it takes her. For more information or to see Lateefa’s work, please go to Lateefaspiker.com.
