THE HISTORY OF CALLIGRAPHY
Ancient origins to early Calligraphy
2000 BC - To Present.
Calligraphy is more than just writing—it's an ancient art form that expresses beauty through language.
From the elegant hieroglyphs of ancient Egypt to the fluid brushstrokes of Chinese characters and the intricate Arabic script, calligraphy has been a defining part of cultural identity across civilizations.
Each stroke tells a story, reflecting the values, beliefs, and history of the people who practiced it. This theme will explore the evolution of written forms and how calligraphy transcends functionality to become a
medium for artistic expression.

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.
