I have taught and consistently worked different
pieces of calligraphy and have applied this art on old inscription pieces, framed
calligraphy and over pieces of engraved ceramic pottery As a painter, I have taken this
art to a different level by combining it with abstract art on my paintings and as a
result, I have come up with a new art which is now known as " Calligraphic Pointing
".
In these pieces, I have taken some of the symbols - which were once
used in the old Persian tribes as communication tools -and used them in my calligraphy and
now I have come up with a new combined style of architecture for letters. When one looks
at such a piece, it reminds h i m of a beautiful poem. These written letters on a piece of
paper can tell you their stories from an event and as a result, they lead their readers to
a majestic imagination of words. When one looks at such an art work one can find his own
meaning depending on the way he feels at different times.
Calligraphy is believed to be an excerpt from some heavenly art and it can
represent illustrations of God's words in action. Some segments obtained within this art
are believed to be portions of our universe and we like to say that the one familiar with
this art can be rewarded.
To enhance my calligraphy, I tried to turn a mechanical skill into a
spiritual art. This way, I prepared a better art work and I confess that it took a great
deal of my energy and time and sometimes I felt like all this hard work had been wasted
and I had to let it go. Some time later when I went back to work again, I realized that
not all the hard work had been in vain.
To obtain a better concentration, I used to write on some pieces of paper
and then I rewrote over them. I selected different segments from a finished work removing
them again and again. This kind of exercise made me realize that creating calligraphy for
the sake of calligraphy is not what one should be doing.
And now when I create calligraphy involuntarily and without much exertion,
I tend to produce a better piece.
