Ambiance of Madina

Revisiting my old photos on my Flickr I stumbled upon this old photo of mine. The original photo was taken in Madina, Saudi Arabia, in 2010. This time I cropped it to prtrait mode and applied motion blur and textures on PS.

நிலா பிரியன்

One of my early calligraphy works done in December 1989 and depicts a prayer meaning (O Lord, make it easy, and do not make it difficult. O Lord, make it end well). This style of calligraphy is called Thuluth (الثلث) and regarded as crown of Arabic Scripts by Arabic Calligraphers. Almost all master calligraphers wrote this prayer in different forms and composition and this is my composition.

Kufi Calligraphy

It has been a while since I posted calligraphy on my calligraphy page. Today I would like to present a work in kufi fatimi style featuring a saying attributed to Imam Ali, It says "Fikruka Feeka Yakfeeka" meaning "It is enough to think about oneself" Many calligraphers have written this saying in many styles and this is my attempt in Kufi style. I tried to bring about a symmetrical appearance in arranging the letters without compromising the proportions and shapes of letters and in this work I have designed a new form for the letter "Kaaf" which was never used by early masters. This is from archives and goes back to 2008/2009
