“When letters were created as an art, they resembled the human body”
more proof that art imitates life, except that it just looks better in Arabic.
more Wissam Shawkat, contemporary Arabic calligraphy goodness.
Really love his work. One of the best modern calligraphers as far as I am concerned. Has done tons of amazing work in the branding field, giving shape to many Arabic brands.
What a beautiful language in all it’s manifestations. Al-hamdu li-Lah. Would that its semantic content were always so beautiful.
Shawkat is definitely one of the best Calligraphers out there right now, i can’t get enough of his stuff; i wish they were available for purchase. And you said it BHC, and i know i’m biased when i say this but the language itself is as equally beautiful in its stylistic manifestations as it is in its phonetic articulation, as well as in its poetically-infused prose. Arabic is one those languages that truly harmonizes content and form.
