“I feel the same way about Calligraphy like I do about life – Looking nice on the surface is not enough. A calligraphic work only gets interesting for me when it conceals a secret – a story, experience or mood which isn’t learned by simply reading the text, but through the expression of the stroke, the choice of material and the untold between the lines. A nicely written word creates pleasure, but a stroke which tells you about joy, ferocity, excitement, longing, searching and confusing feelings can fascinate much longer”.
