Contemporary Arabic calligraphy designs

Arabic calligraphy is the most typical expression of the Islamic spirit. The different classical styles of the Arabic letters offer unlimited possibilities to the artist. The contemporary designs presented here indirectly utilize these styles to create an abstract, yet readable representation of words and provide a postmodern interpretation of the letters. The intent is to cross barriers and touch other languages and cultures for it is said: “The written word is a talisman, and the process of writing is a magic connected not only with the master’s technique and skill, but also with his spiritual and moral character.”
