Welcome to My Calligraphy World
A Fusion of Tradition and Innovation.
For centuries, Iranian calligraphy has echoed the soul of Persian poetry and literature.
Rooted in spirituality and elegance, this timeless art form expresses the deepest human emotions, where traditional techniques are masterfully blended with contemporary creativity.
The Evolution of an Enduring Art, From gold embellished textiles to intricate wood inlays and fine metalwork, calligraphy has long been a cornerstone of Iranian artistic heritage.
Over time, it has adapted to cultural changes and historical shifts, evolving in form while preserving its essence.
My Artistic Vision
With a deep passion for classical Persian calligraphy and a background in graphic design, I have developed an innovative approach that merges rich tradition with modern aesthetics.
My signature technique involves painting on canvas using natural clay sourced from the foothills of the Alborz mountains, an ancient material re-imagined through a contemporary lens.
This unique medium allows me to present Iranian calligraphy in a new light: tactile, earthy, and profoundly rooted in cultural identity.
Inspired by Nature, Driven by Emotion, Each piece I create is inspired by the beauty of nature and the complexity of human emotion.
My works tell stories, sometimes deeply personal, sometimes universal, all crafted with care, intention, and emotional depth.
I frequently experiment with unconventional materials and methods, constantly exploring the evolving boundaries of calligraphy as a visual language.
