Ta'liq
This collection of abstract forms, inspired by Nash, Thuluth, and Talia perso-arabic calligraphy, is created in honor of Ibn Muqla, a key figure in the Ikhwan al-Safa brotherhood. The artist focuses on capturing the motion of the pen, reinterpreting the essence of these styles in a contemporary way. These works highlight the fundamental role of writing in preserving and transmitting knowledge in fields like mathematics, medicine, music, poetry, astronomy… within Eastern civilization. The Ta’liq script, in combination with the transcript, created the Nasta’liq. Nasta’lia point has artistically been the scale of Persian letters design by moving, rotating, and pulling the pen. This work of art is a poetic and abstract elucidation of Perso_Arabic calligraphy in the laud of artists whose scripts are full of tolerance and patience, as the movement of their pens, the patience of the noble individuals of middle East.
