An adaptation of the 13th-century cosmographical book, known as Aja'ib al-Makhluqat (Wonders of Creation and Oddities of Existing Things) by Zakariya al-Qazwini.
The book deals with the spheres of the heavens with its inhabitants, astronomical knowledge of that time, and the terrestrial (the four elements, the seven climes, seas, and rivers, a sort of bestiary on the animal kingdom, the plants, and minerals).
The painting uses some of the illustrations from various rare copies of the book preserved in different libraries around the world as well as the artist's own imaginary creatures and supernatural objects. It's a hand-painted piece, from the DOTxDOT collection, painted on 50x70 cm paper using markers and ink.
