THE FIVE ERAS

Born in 1989 – IRAN. Since 2021, in addition to specialized training in the field of Kufic calligraphy, as well as studying and researching in the field of typography, I started my professional activity.

I have always tried to create original and unique works by using the principles of Islamic and Middle Eastern art and combining it with modern art and also I like break the taboos of traditional calligraphy by combining two types of calligraphy (Thuluth and Kufic) and at the same time display an amazing artwork I believe the suffering of art is beautiful, and if I want to describe the path i took,I say that as much as creativity, thinking and abstraction are important, skill and craftsmanship also create differences, in other words, the artwork will be impactful if we do it with attention to detail.

Magazines :

• Introduced as an upcoming artist whose works should be followed in Global center of Islamic art magazine

I am 天遊美(Ayumi), a sumie(Japanese ink painting )artist.

I was born and raised in a nature-rich region of Japan, surrounded by the sea and mountains. Growing up, I lived in harmony with the changing seasons, always inspired by their ever-shifting beauty.

My childhood was filled with adventures in nature—making necklaces out of dandelions, catching fireflies and releasing them onto trees to create magical Christmas lights, fishing in rivers, collecting seashells on the beach, and climbing mountains.

As a child, I learned the fundamentals of ink painting from my grandfather, a sumi-e artist. Later, I studied graphic design at university and worked on various projects in fashion and color design. Now, I have come to deeply appreciate the richness of my sensory experiences in the Japanese countryside.

I focus on blending the traditional Japanese style of using brushes and ink with the colors and emotions that emerge from within me. 

Through my art, I aim to share this unique harmony of nature and tradition with the world.

I depict the act of being in a group. For me, the idea of ​​a "group" is a complex mix of hatred and admiration, and I have lived my life constantly worrying about how to strike a balance within that.
I don't like to be in a group, but I am interested in people, so I searched for the most comfortable viewpoint and this composition was born.

My name is Alan Cariddi Jr. I am an award-winning French/American artist currently living in Paris France. From a young age I looked at things with a sense of amazement, from the smallest forms of life to galaxies. I developed a passion for patterns prevalent throughout the world, a love for geometry and its application in nature, and an attraction to the concept of duality, which have all become a source of inspiration for me.

 

I believe we all have our part to play in this world, and while life initially took me in a different professional direction, fate it seemed, had every intension of bringing me back on the path to my passions.
