Farouq Molloy, born Sean Molloy in 1957 in Plymouth, is a British "outsider" artist. He initially drew on graph paper with a black biro, then began working with colours. His patterned drawings incorporate "Islamic and North African decorative elements", reflecting his conversion to Islam in the early 1990s.
