Arabic Calligraphies and Objects

His work leads us towards a beautiful form of art, which is gaining in popularity and opens doors to a fascinating culture, centered around the Arabic script, which one could call the dynamics of all islamic art..

The hidden power of letters and words in uncountable variations and impressive compositions, both colourful and decorative is an experience, similtaneously contemplative and meditative.

Arabic calligraphy combines both art and the written word in an unequalled form of expression, refined and elegantly beautiful. Its' traces are found in decorative art, in interiors (e.g. carpets) and architecture.

It is a classical as well as a modern art, which consists of traditionally inherited elements of script and letterings, as well as of contemporary compositional elements and each artist's personal style.
